Things to be happy about from January 5, 2011

1. Sacred Space - Space that is yours is what you might consider sacred. It is really up to your opinion on what the definition of sacred is. It may also be a sacred spot like a church or synagogue (depending on your religion).

2. Making Faces at Monkeys - Ok now who doesn't love making faces at monkeys and watching their reaction of dumbfoundedness. Then again you probably look dumber than the monkeys do looking at you making the faces which is actually pretty funny and makes me smile just thinking about it.

3. Believing - Believing in almost anything that you do should make anyone happy especially if it brings something to happen that is truly amazing. Believing in a religion is enough to make some people happy.

4. Peppermint Ice Cream - Personally I don't like peppermint ice cream but I do like the smell of peppermint so I do agree that this would make people happy. Plus it's ice cream and who doesn't like ice cream (except those that are lactose intolerant and I'm very sorry to those people, I know that I would go nuts if I were lactose intolerant since I truly love almost everything with milk in it).

5. Bookshelves Lining a Room - Anyone who loves books should be happy by this picture. Some people love books that they have a library in their house. Also going to the library where bookshelves are around each wall of the house makes many people happy.

6. Snow Sculptures - It truly is the most beautiful time of the year when everything is dead to be covered with a beautiful layer of snow. Many people do not like snow but it is truly amazing to see what people can do with it artistically after there is enough. A snow sculpture includes little kids building snowmen. Who doesn't smile when they see the hard work that a kid has put into a simple snowman along the road.

7. The Art of Reading Faces - Doesn't it make someone happy to see that someone is happy. The ability of reading faces can be both happy and sad because the skill can make someone happy but what they see when they read the faces cannot always be a happy thing.

8. The "Buttoning-On" of Winter - Get out your gloves and scarves...winter is coming and it's going to be another cold one. I love putting on cute sweaters and scarves in the winter plus the snow falling softly throughout the season is always enough to make me happy.

9. Imaginative Egg Dishes - I'm not very imaginative when it comes to eggs but I love seeing what other people can do with eggs. Scrambled eggs with shredded cheese is about as imaginative as I get but it is truly delicious!

10. An Electric Typewriter in the Attic - The humming of the typewriter and the way the keys make a punch at the paper as you type out a paper. Maybe you just went to use it to remember what it was like to use it and to just feel the way it used to feel. Many people of our generation don't really know what it is like to feel the hum of an electric typewriter because they are so used to computers and the keyboard where they can go back and delete things instead of having to go back and manually white out mistakes. It makes me smile whenever I use the typewriter at home.
