Don't Worry Be Happy

Here are today's wonderful things to be happy about :)

1. Worn Oriental Rugs - Who doesn't love to lie down in the middle of an old oriental rug. My grandmother has them all over her house and the more worn they are the better they look and feel. They also massage your feet if you walk around barefeet the way that I do.

2. Overnight Success - Who doesn't want to make a shit ton of money over night for the next big feat in technology or toys? A good example of an over night success would definitely be those silly bands that everyone likes or maybe the brand new pillow pets. Whoever came up with those things are awesome even though some of the things that become popular are completely useless just fun to collect.

3. Finding Your Sea Legs - When you're out on a boat no one wants to fall overboard so when you find your sea legs most people are very proud of themselves. I, myself, am a very good example of this because it takes me a while to become acclimated to the tossing and turning. The worst is when you've been on a boat for a while and get off and have trouble standing up straight because you've now adjusted to being a boat that is constantly moving underneath you.

4. The Fossil Record - So I had to look this one up and it's pretty much a record of all of the fossils ever found and the study of the evolution of earth. To those people at SU there is actually something about ginko trees in the website I found and it made me laugh. Now I guess these amazing findings would make scientists happy but I don't know how happy it makes me other than to get to see them in museums, which I honestly think is pretty cool.

5. Beach Shacks in Hawaii - I've never been to Hawaii but I much rather prefer the beach shacks here on the lovely island of Eleuthra in the Bahamas or the Half Way House on the way down the beach. Besides that, being on any beautiful beach should make anyone happy. I've heard weddings on the beach are beautiful but I've never been or seen one.

6. Slalom Racing - I always love the Winter Olympics and I enjoy watching people ski. I don't know about the rest of you but I'd rather be doing the skiing instead of watching others do it for their country, no offense to those of you who do ski professionally but I'd rather be out on the slopes with you.

7. Fish Balls and Corn Bread - Fresh fish and corn bread from the oven are a wonderful mix. I've always loved corn bread especially when it's still warm, even if you just warm it up in an oven I may love you for that very moment, even if I normally hate you :P

8. A Clean Slate - This is one thing that everyone should take advantage of if there is something that you want to change about yourself that you maybe don't like. I know when I went off to college I changed a few things about myself (especially how loud I was in high school changed a lot). I know that I will probably try to change a few things when I graduate and move into the real world. There is almost always something that people can improve about themselves and maybe it's not really bad but it's something that you know that you can do better.

9. Outlet Store Shopping - The best part of outlet shopping...THE PRICES!!! Why buy things at full price when you can get them when they are marked down at an outlet store. I always love getting new clothes for cheaper prices which means that I can afford more.

10. Starting a Brand-New Book - Honestly if you don't like to read I can understand why you don't like new books, but that's besides the point. I love starting a new book because if it's an actual brand-new book the smell of it is wonderful and the thrill of never knowing what is going to happen in the book and trying to guess what is coming next. Reading books always takes me to a different world and using my imagination is always fun to picture what these people are actually like.

More things to be happy about tomorrow :)
