Not The Trivial things that make you happy

All Hail President Murphy

Following on from the trivial things that annoy you, I hope we can start a thread on trivial things that make you happy.

I love pushing the button for the lift and the doors open right away.

Being able to walk straight down an escalator or up it without people standing in the way.

Being bale to sail down the driving lane and use the passing lane without lane-hoggers or slow drivers.

A good thread on boards.ie

when the bus is there as soon as i arrive at the bus stop or train as soon as I arrive at the platform.

when the parking spot that I usually park in in the local shopping centre is free.

What makes you happy??

I keep replaying this clip and it gets funnier each time; hence it makes me happy:

He did a mock re-take of it himself! On phone so not goin lookin for it. He looks so boring and deadpan and stuffy and haughty sitting there talking and next thing the kids walk in!

. But in the re-take it's amusing and kind-of nice to see these people being ordinary and more than anything else, just being able to have a bit of banter.

Love.

Not the romantic mushy kind, the real life heartaching-for-someone-else kind, cus life's roughed them up, or

worse, taken them away ...or feeling so much empathy for a hurting pet, they stay up all night and cry with them... Doesn't it give you tremendous hope that we can endure (together) whatever is to come, knowing we love so deeply? Well done world - does a heart good to see that not everyone abides in the ME ME ME society. I wish no more pain for our loved ones, but being touched for and by others (close by or a world away) is inspiring.

3 day week for some of us!
Looking forward to a day of gallivanting around town tomorrow, lunch with the beloved, an afternoon of suit buying, museums, cafes... and an evening of drunken carry on with friends.

When people are nice to animals. Brought my darling boy to the vet and from the moment we went in, everyone was lovely to him. The other patients families, the receptionists, the vet nurse and the vet. They told him how gorgeous he was and although he was a bit afraid of the vet he was so good. He kept trying to climb up on my knee and into my arms (he's 36kg) and the vet remarked how much he loved his mummy.

I take them for walks in the evening and it was just a lovely welcome for him rather than people walking out of their way or scowling at dogs in public places. I can't wait for the time when there will be dog friendly hotels and restaurants and cafes and pubs and you can bring dogs everywhere without people being apprehensive of dogs. Imagine if there was hotels you could bring your dog on holiday to?

They have a dog friendly room that you can access without having to go through the hotel. It has wooden floors. My mam stayed there recently and they showed her the room. Well behaved dogs are also allowed in their bar

My old boss brought her dog here and loved it. Said they were brilliant.

In light of the loss of a friend in the recent Coastguard helicopter disaster it's hard to be happy today, but it's like somebody up there is trying to cheer me up because I got word today that I have won €100 in each of, not one but two, crossword competitions. Crosswords I have been entering for decades without success.

Seeing the scales registering a smaller number than when I stepped on it last. I've about 3 stone to shift, but it's a start, best time of year for it too. It's so easy to put weight on in winter but I'm going to have fun exercising outdoors when I can.

Brought my kids to the park after school and the big child within me couldn't resist a go on the swing and slide

LOL kids are great for that carry-on! I was at a playground the other day with this massive really fast zip-line thingy, a proper long one, my three-year-old was too small to go on it alone so of course I "had" to go on with him!

Us parents have to "test" these things out so we know they're safe for our kids

If I can pack my shopping as fast as the Aldi checkout person flings it at me, I'm TH. I think they speed up when they see me, just for the crack.

When I wake up during the night and hear my fur baby snoring, him panned out beside me so relaxed. Far cry from last night but makes me appreciate the fact I've a dog that feels safe and loved and above all, a dog free from pain.
I feel so happy that he's so relaxed. Makes me happy that that vets bill was worth every cent. Makes me happy that he's happy. So grateful to be his mummy, I'd lose my life if anything happened him

In gentle recovery from my razzle day that turned into a dazzle day. So much to absorb and mull over. Only bad thing all the day long was missing a turning ( NO SIGNPOSTS!) that would have taken me across country and hitting a large town at a misnamed "rush hour" :eek:

After the wide mountains and wider lakes a culture shock!

Spent most of the day over the border in Mayo, an old stamping ground. Love Mayo. Friendliest people. Was chatting to the man in Dunne;s who was relabelling reduced fruit and veg. When he heard I was visiting from Connemara! A good Galway man!. He promptly rereduced everything in my trolley to eg 10 cents! And added things I had not chosen..... I have a veritable harvest festival here.

Sheep everywhere; rotund roly- poly ruminants, ready for their annual population explosion which is later up here.

Walked far too far and learned so much in my monastic historian "hat"

LOVE MAYO! Love Connemara too... But Mayo was my first Irish home.

So blessed I am ! So very very blessed.
