A Sign Creaking in the Wind

April 13's 10 Things to Be Happy About

1. A Sign Creaking in the Wind - For some reason this just makes me think about movies where something bad is about to happen, but the characters don't know it yet. It always creeps me out when you think about it. It's also very artsy when people take pictures of it.

2. Earthquake-Proofing - Apparently in Japan they build their buildings so that they can withstand the moving of the earth's plates causing earth quakes. Also you never really know when an earthquake can hit so it can be really hard to earthquake-proof something unless it was made that way to begin with.

3. A Center for the Arts - Every town should have one of these because children should be able to dip their feet into the arts programs. I feel that they are becoming less and less because of cuts in funding. I think that it is complete crap that this is the first thing that school's and societies decide to cut out because they think it is unimportant. It IS important for students to see everything when they are being educated!

4. A Bridge Reopening - I love this because it makes everyone's lives easier because then they don't have to drive through a detour every day. I remember when I was still in middle school they redid a bridge near my house and it took forever for them to finally finish it but when they did it was a faster ride to school.

5. The Local Greasy Spoon - Around here it's the Exton Diner. They have good food but it is kind of low key greasy food. McDonald's anywhere are definitely a local greasy spoon because honestly that food is soooo bad for you.

6. Imitating a Bird Call - People who do this are pretty talented in my opinion. Some of those calls are really hard to imitate. It's also fun to listen to people who can't do it try.

7. Sharing Something of Interest - I hate conversations that aren't interesting so when something talks to me and shares something new that I have an interest in it helps. I love the people in my life who know what I'm interested in and have the same interests. I'm always ready to hear something new and see if it is interesting.

8. A Grudge Set Aside - Honestly I think that too many people hold grudges for too long. That's part of the problem with the world. Honestly unless someone keeps repeating the problem that began the grudge fine keep it but if they are making an honest effort to fix thing it's always a good thing to let it go. If something happens once and you set a grudge for a life then you have some serious problems.

9. Cheeks Aglow - I love making boys blush, it's always entertaining, or anyone for that matter. It's just fun to watch them feel embarrassed.

10. Surpassing Your Expectations - I love when I am able to go up and above the call of duty, it always makes things much better.
