Kill Them With Kindness

10 Things to Be Happy About - January 6, 2011

1. Chubby Candles - These are not only a decoration but they also usually smell good depending on where you purchase them from. As I write this I actually have one going on the other side of my room so my room smells like pumpkins :)

2. An Afternoon Made for Writing - Apparently this afternoon is one as I have to catch up with the days that I missed for my blog. I also enjoy those afternoons where I can curl up on the couch with a clipboard and some paper and write whatever I want, whether it be poems or actually working on school work.

3. Perpetuating Kindness - Any type of kindness should be enough to make anyone happy. If you are kind to someone it is usually in the hopes that they will repay the favor and in most cases today I feel like it never happens these days. There are few people that will pass along the kindness because they are too self centered into what is going on in their own lives to look and see when others need a touch of kindness.

4. Flavorful Spices - Spices make any food come alive in your mouth. The key to a man's heart is his stomach and the food you choose to serve to him as the saying goes. Spices can only help. Experimenting with them can truly make anyone happy.

5. Watching a Woodturner - This is actually fascinating especially if you go to an old historical town where they use these for demonstrations and make handmade wooden goods. Today you do not see many of these because machines have taken over many of the goods that we use in our lives.

6. A Ladies' Lunch - Since I'm not a big fan of woman (and yes I am one but they drive me crazy with the way that they gossip about others) this is not something that would make me happy. While other woman enjoy the company of women this could make them happy to sit and talk to each other about whatever it is women talk about over lunch.

7. Asking a Bunch of Questions - While this may make the questioner happy it might drive the people who are being peppered with questions nuts. I do like asking questions so that I can actually understand what is going on or maybe learn something new.

8. The Ski Patrol - This could make people who are hurt very happy and the thought that they are always looking out for you as you speed down a hill on two strips of wood.

9. Chicken Kiev - This is a dish I'm sure any person who liked chicken would be very happy to have this dish put in front of them because it's delicious. For those who don't like chicken... I feel badly for you.

10. Blushing Golden Delicious Apples - What would you do to have that crunch in your lunch? The crunch of a fresh apple is enough to make anyone happy because not only do they taste good, they are good for you!
