Happiness

While browsing through my feeds this morning (as I do every morning with a piping hot coffee) I came across a simple idea. What makes us happy? What makes us happy on a daily basis? It got my mind churning. I realized we don’t often stop to consider the tiny moments each day that flag positivity.

Each morning I focus my attention for a moment on being happy. A cross between prayer, will, and simple thought. Happiness. May it come to me today, whatever the form. I then move on and don’t look back. I’ve never stopped to consider how this might manifest itself.

Consider this my exercise in appreciation. A random list of things that brightened my days this week:

  • Hugging Red for the first time in two weeks since her return from Hawaii.
  • Making our Project Manager well up in tears, laughing.
  • A true “guy” conversation had with Dad about the upcoming football season.
  • Finding the perfect song for a video the office is currently writing.
  • Finally getting the perfect photo I’ve been barely missing the passed two weeks.
  • A phone conversation with an old friend in Miami, making me laugh so hard my side hurt.
  • Red and I watching the Indiana Jones trailer. Can’t claim that often.
  • Discussing the finer points of Bruce Campbell awesomeness with Lea.
  • Finding a really great book to read.
  • Sipping on my favorite coffee for the first time in a month. Mmm-mm.
  • A couple deep breaths on Saturday, enjoying a Spring’ish morning in Orlando.
  • Blasting AC/DC throughout the office, attempting the Angus dance with fellow co-workers.
  • Checking my totals after selling quite a few items on eBay (holy cow, this adds up)
  • That Philly Cheese steak purchased on Thursday. Greasy and good.

It’s the little things in life we forget.

What makes up your list?
