Strange things to be happy about

by Jummy

One of my daily calendars lists five things to be happy about every day.

Rather than focussing on those general things that we can all be happy about, such as the fact that our country is not a warzone, the ability to breathe fresh air and being generally healthy, I’d like you to list with me five things that might not matter much to anyone else but make you feel very happy.

I’ll start. I’m happy that:

  • someone decided to make cans of compressed air for cleaning dust from computers and keyboards
  • my parents still care enough to ask me where I’m going, even though I’m 28
  • sand dollars exist–their delicacy humbles me
  • my coworker now puts her opened half packets of coffee sweetner aside so that when I’m rifling through the sugar bowl looking for sugar among the artificial sweetners, I don’t have to run my hands against powdery crystals
  • that I got this new casual bag that happens to have the perfect strap length on sale:

Your turn: what makes you happy?

    I had a co-worker too that used to leave half open packets of sugar. What’s up with that?!?

    Well, here’s some things that make me happy.
    1) my kids
    2) starbucks - caramel macchiato, layered
    3) going to the beach

    Strange things to be happy about:
    1. Finally finding the Bourne Supremacy - after 4 rental stores, 3 stores to buy it - and when it rings up its cheaper than all the stores $8.50 at Target
    2. A fun comment on your Myspace page
    3. Being spooned
