May 11's 10 Things to Be Happy About

1. Nesting Boxes - Are these boxes that lay inside of each other when you don't have anything to put in them which makes for less space that is taken up. Whoever invented them was thinking of conserving space which is always a plus in my mind because it makes life so much easier in the long run.

2. Pastry Chefs - Everything they make is delicious and I have always wished that I could be as talented as them but I know that I never will be. The ones that make wedding cakes are by far the most talented because of all of the different designs that they put onto cakes. My mom is really good with make cookies and then icing them really decoratively.

3. Thick Moss - I love how moss feels between my toes. It is always a wonderful feeling. Moss is something that is a weed but it still works to an advantage because it's not an ugly weed.

4. Ice Hockey in Canada - It's like soccer in most countries in Canada. Sometimes I wish that I lived in Canada because ice hockey is my favorite sport to watch and I would be able to watch it almost all year round. I am a little sad that the Flyers are out of the playoffs but still there is hockey on the TV even with the Flyers being out.

5. Swings That Go High - As opposed to swings that go low? I think that this is really dumb but that's ok. All swings should go high because that's what makes them fun to go on. We still have one in our front yard that I love to go and sit on because it's so peaceful when you're out there. While the swing does not go fast or very high it is just nice to sit and relax on it.

6. The Power of Music - Music has so much power because it can truly change people. I feel bad for those people in the world that never have the chance to hear how beautiful music is. I think that classical music should have an effect on everyone. Having a way to express yourself without having to beat up someone and putting it into music is always a wonderful thing to have.

7. Miniboxes of Raisins in Your Lunch Box - I honestly didn't care whether they were in my lunch box or out of the cabinet, I was one of those people who just liked raisins. I loved going to my grandmothers because she always had the miniboxes of them and I would grab one when I walked into the kitchen. I loved having them because I would munch on them as I walked around the house and played with all of my cousins. It just worked well.

8. A Cushion of Savings - It's always good to have something like this because if something goes wrong then you don't get stuck with nothing to help you out of the hole that you are in. I would hate to be stuck up a creek with a paddle.

9. Skillful Tailoring - If you suck at tailoring...don't open a tailor shop. That is all!

10. Berry-Filled Basket - In the Poconos there are many blueberry bushes and I have always loved going and picking fresh berries off of the different bushes. Sometimes I'll even eat the berries right off of the tree. I don't think that they need to be washed because they are wild and no one is putting anything on them that could get me sick.
