Day 83 – 100 Days of Happiness

I have sat here watching the cursor blink off and on for far too long with no clear direction in mind.  There are a lot of little moments of happiness but not any one thing that stands out better than the rest.

• I took my car to the repair shop to get my door replaced… got a nice little Camry to drive until it is fixed.
• The snow that fell yesterday all melted away today.
• I got a book in on hold at the library I have been looking forward to reading
• I made it to an Al-anon meeting and saw some people I haven’t seen for a while
• I got a text from a friend I hadn’t heard from in a while
• Finally made plans with my daughter to get together for lunch this week

All good things, but not one that stands out.  I could even add the adorable smile from a cute little girl at the library who was waiting with her mom when I walked in.  Happiness some days is all around us in small but wonderful doses.

100 Days of Happiness

After seeing Rent and fixing Thanksgiving dinner, my body revolted and I have been fighting some major fatigue.  Forgive me for another late double day post.

Day 77 – Wow… today was a case of sticker shock.  I took my car into the repair shop after the woman backed into me in the clinic parking lot.  I was prepared for the estimate I thought, wrong.  He got to the bottom line number to only have a door repaired and after he said, “One thousand…” I kind of blanked out before he added six hundred and sixteen. From that moment on I spent the rest of the day so happy I had car insurance to cover it!

Day 78 – This was a tough day.  With the change in temperature outside and the level of activity recently I am fighting the pain today.  But better than a heating pad is a cat that likes to cuddle and today my cat was feeling friendly.  I think maybe she was feeling the increased cold in the air too.  No matter why she was on my lap doesn’t matter, her warmth and love made me feel happy.
