Things That Make Me Inordinately Happy in Comparison to Effort Expended, In No Particular Order (2014)

I did this kind of list once before, in time for New Year 2013. This isn't a New Year's Day list, and I don't make resolutions, exactly, but I want to bring more focus on joy and fulfillment toward the end of this year. Therefore, in no particular order, here is a list of things that make me ridiculously happy.

•  When my little kitteh, D, snuggles up on my shoulder and snurrs (snoring/purring)





• Also when she finds stinky shoes or workout clothes and wallows in them in complete unfettered joy


• When a song comes on that I once loved but haven't heard in a decade or two


• Checking things off a list; I am so bad that I will add stuff I've already done to a list just so that I can mark them off


• Getting a zit to pop, even though I know I'm not supposed to do that


• When the kittehs sleep on their backs and leave those fuzzy tummies exposed


• Colorful veggies all washed and chopped and ready for snacking





• Getting cold enough to actually enjoy wearing a sweater


• Hearing my beloved's voice from another room


• Bad puns


• Making B laugh

I'm certain there's more, but you get the idea. For a change I want to look for good things instead of only looking for the bad things, because if that's all you look for, that's all you will ever see.
