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??

Just looked outside and all my plants and bushes look lovely. Spent weeks with a soldering iron modifying solar lights and now everything is bathed in colour. Spent so much time matching LED colours to plant colours to show them off.

Pic perhaps?
Sounds cool.

I was working today, outside, but in the shade, with that lovely cool breeze.

I am more than trivially happy. It ends up that it is for the maximum hours that I could do alongside my current job and family commitments. I could nearly do cartwheels :-D

Delighted for you. Isn't it nice when a post from a stranger makes you happy!!!

An interview this morning - I'm asking myself why on earth would I put myself through this and remember that builders are starting work next month....

An Icy glass of cola and sun on my face.

Got tickets to see my absolute favourite band this morning and I'll be going with my absolute favourite people

I have two African Grey parrots, Ruby and Charlie and they are very chatty in the mornings. I have to go to work soon and do other adult stuff that sucks (boo hiss) but I'm just listening to them now nattering away and it melts my heart, especially when they say "I love you"

New book arrived in the post, a perfect cup of coffee, sunshine, peace and a cold glass of water. Small things, trivial things...that make me happy.

Got a surprise paid day off today!!:D:D

Having today off.

When there's a colour theme in my toiletries.. doesn't happen often though.

Freckles! My nose gets covered in freckles in the sun and I love it

I do a lot of city breaks around Europe. Ah I'm not rich like I stay in hostels and travel cheap

I always had to be careful on my mobile usage, Vodafone gave me 200mb a day but sending photos by WhatsApp and browsing picture heavy Facebook and TripAdvisor would get that quick

Since June 15th I now get the same Vodafone Ireland deal no matter where I go in the EU.

Thanks EU for ending ripoff roaming!

I got a load of baking done today. This English woman does not go out in the noon day sun. I'd melt! Great for all who can take the heat.

KERSPLAT!

Jaysus, what was wrong that you thought it was a write off but it's actually only €50 of damage!?

I'm out in the back garden chasing the last of the sun, few bottles and The Boss blaring

fantastic day.

Lady is a tramp

I posted last night in the trivial annoyances thread about my phone and my car being fecked, and I thought I'd have to make do without either for the foreseeable future.

Well today, the universe pretty much gifted me with a swanky phone much better than the one I was using. Then, I went to see about getting my car fixed, and it turns out it's only aesthetic damage - I thought we were talking write-off damage, instead it's only going to cost me €50!

Overall today has been good. I got a dress and two tops for a tenner altogether in a charity shop. I got my nails Shellaced for free. I made some major life decisions and have a whole new weekly routine in place. I thought of the best present ever for my dad for fathers day - a Bonsai tree, he'll just love it!

I'm also pretty sure I'm going to win the lotto tonight - I bought a ticket earlier, because today just feels like that sort of a day when good things will happen for me. Fingers crossed! :cool:

Icecream on a day like today.

Kids on our street have set up a stall selling real lemonade. Its really cold and nice. Well worth the 50c.

When you have a lot of niggling chores to do and allot a good chunk of time to do them, but work through them so efficiently that you complete it all in less than half the time you thought it would take, and then reward yourself with a mug of tea and a nice sit-down.

Power washing the drive.

when I went to visit a friend and help with the new baby, I spotted her 18 month old sitting on the bottom step of the stairs. I asked mum why he was sitting on the naughty step, que a lot of annoyances caused by lack of sleep and toddler insecurity.

When his time we up I went to get him, I asked him if he knew why he was on the naughty step, he shrugged and said, HORMONES.

I foresee a great future for him in annoying women or gynaecology.

Back home after four days in New York. Much as I love travel, seeing the sights, meeting up with old friends, it's always nice to get home again.

People ask me what's my favourite place in Ireland, I always say arrivals at Dublin airport.

Anyway a trivial thing that makes me super happy is the looooong evenings.

madmaggie

I was chatting earlier to a former work mate whom I haven't seen for about five years. It was just like old times. Some people have that gift, always the same, but in the best way.

My lawn. It's not particularly beautiful but at the minute it's like a zoo. There's loads of sparrows and wagtails, a couple of blackbirds, the usual robin and a small rabbit eating dandelions in the corner. Makes cooking and doing the washing up heaven.
