A Challenge

I am starting a new journaling technique and I would like to challenge anyone out there to join me. I am writing down the answer to this question: What five seemingly insignificant little things made me happy today? I'll give you one of mine: Putting on a pair of black knit gloves with gripper spots on the palms. Get the drift? Really little things that give you a happy feeling. Let me know what you come up with if you don't mind sharing a thing or two.

1. This morning I made coffee with a flavored creamer in it - it makes my whole morning.

2. I felt peaceful walking from the metro to work, rather than anxious.

3. Fall is finally here with chilly mornings, and today I got to wear some really comfortable slipper-like shoes to work with a sweater.

4. I missed the first bus and metro train that came by me this morning, but when I caught the next ones I not only got a seat (!) but also still got to work on time.

5. My boss gave me the 'go ahead' to make some changes around the office at my leisure, and I feel empowered and respected here at my job (which I normally don't!).

6. My cats woke me up this morning with grateful purring and attention. Tigerlily even wanted to be held when I got out of the shower, so we had a few minutes together (probably why I missed the bus).

1) The heavy patchwork quilt I got to put on my bed because it's finally cooling down enough at night.

2) Wearing a new blouse that seems to be rather slimming (yay for vertical stripes).

3) Getting a friendly bus driver.

4) One of my coworkers is wearing really pretty lipstick.

1. I started a new book today, I love that feeling.

2. Looking at old pictures of the the first day of school when we lived in the brick house.

3. The big pots of flowers on our porch.

4. Open sunroof as I drove to work.

5. Still waiting for 5, it's only noon.

1. I just heard two really good songs on the radio in a row.
2. Being able to run my errands during lunch and being able to wolf down my lunch in the allotted time.
3. I just smelled my wrists and can still smell the delicious perfume I put on this morning.
4. I had time to take a shower and do my hair this morning. Trust me, that does not happen often!
That was kind of fun.
