It's the Little Things.....

I have often said it's the little things that make us happy.  Big things tend to boggle the mind and weigh us down, but those surprising little things can turn that all around when you are having a bad time.

Some little things that have made me happy, or made me smile, lately:

1.  Playing Magic allll evening, losing game after game, and then absolutely crushing a clannie opponent on my last game.  The little thing?  His deck had never been beaten!  That made my day!  Good Game!

2.  I am always sore the day after I lift weights.  I always have had that tendency.  But the word "nibble" in relationship to my sore pecs is still making me smile.

3.  I heard from an old "friend I've never met" that he will be at the Lan!  Looking forward to it, Bud!

4.  Hubby never watches me play, but for some reason, he came in to tell me something and the screen caught his eye.  Just at that moment, up flashed a pm from a clannie that simply said "hey, got time for a quickie?'.  I am still smiling about that one.  Actually, laughing out loud!

5.  Some of my clannies call me Mom.  I tell them that if they call me Mom, I get to call them things I have called my own kids, and gkids, in the past.  One is "Sweety Boy".  He's my fav!  Another is simply "baby".  And then there is "Sweet Thang".  No, he's my fav!  Awwww, I luv em all!

6.  When patients that are done with treatment come back just to say hi and they have hair!!!  Way cool!

7.  Meemoos calling me "her Pearly".  Nice.....

8.  Having a nice glass of wine.   I get really happy then!

Oh, when you think about it, there are sooo many little things.  Like, for instance, getting up early and playing a few games of magic with, ahem, a very good friend, just him and me.  So, that's all.  A little thing is perhaps about to happen.  Woot!

Little things I like: Skinny dipping...shhhhh! That feeling I get when I start up a new game! Having a good dream. A Farmers Market. I get a charge out of seeing all the beautiful fruits and veggies lined up waiting to be picked! No traffic. Knowing the words to my fav songs. A new book. Sleeping on the beach. Strawberry Lemonade with a little umbrella. The sound of rain. I love that ozone smell. A cool, crisp Fall day. Bumblebees on flowers. Making my first cupcake, and then eating it! Finding kitty fur in strange places, even tho she's been gone 9 months now. She was in my life for almost 23 years. I miss her meows, I miss her. Thanks pearly for sharing yours and making me think of of some of my own. Cheers to little happy things!
