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 spoke to Joe Duffy on liveline today. I hope it raised awareness and will encourage people to seek help.

I did something bold! I went to London last year with my missus and we had to decide between two plays, so we didn't end up seeing The Woman In Black and I know she really wanted to see it.

She'll kill me for booking the tickets because they weren't cheap but she works so hard and takes such good care of me that I want to do something to spoil her. I know she's going to be really excited. It's going to be our first venture into London since we moved too so it will be exciting! Now if I can just keep my gob shut until February we'll be grand

That's so lovely!!! She will be thrilled!

TA: a little boy in my class told me he knows everything because he has dreams about things and they always come true. So cute! I wish I could go around thinking the way children do. The world would be a nicer place!

TH, bouncing back after this virus, still can't eat much and the very idea of anything sugary is repugnant. IF I push it and eat something like that, it has no taste.

Just, dogs in general. We don't deserve them

So I came home yesterday evening and my dog had trapped herself in the sitting room having skidded one of the rugs right up against the door. The other one was skidded up against the fireplace and both throws were shoved up against the back of the couches, with every cushion knocked off. I can only deduce that she spends her days playing "the floor is lava".

The smell of my dogs farts eminating from under the coffee table. I don't know why but this both disgusts and delights me at the same time!

I was at the league match last month- it was a cracker!

Was sitting at the kitchen table writing and the three-year-old was at her little table playing with her toys, talking to herself in English with loads of Irish words. I'm just ignoring it and then all three years of her, just as naturally, starts singing the fantastic An Cailín Álainn entirely in Irish with great defiance and voice for one so young, 'Ó abair liomsa, gur tú mo ghrá gheal, Beidh orm áthas, in áit an bhróin...' She got to the next verse and it died down a bit so I dived in to rescue this magic and we had a great seisiún. I'm using every moment now to teach her all the other verses and she's really into it, repeating each line to herself as I sing it (in fairness, you've a captive audience when you're driving the car!). Music and song are life savers!

Good woman, KKkitty, that's real girl power! I had to unblock the loo yesterday, not my idea of a perfect Sunday, but it works.

Well I did contribute to it being blocked so I was just cleaning up my mess

It's great when you do stuff like that yourself though.

If you really want to cheer yourself on a grey dank day like this, then when next taking a load of towels out of the tumble dryer, bunch them together in your arms and hug to your face. The absolute feeling of nirvana and warmth is really good and gives you an instant hit of happiness.

Lol I do that too. It makes me instantly relaxed; it must remind us of being back in the womb or something.

Last night I accidentally on purpose left my doors open so my dogs could sneak into my room. Sure enough about 4am I hear creeping. I hear the big dog smelling around and feel him stick his nose onto my bed to see if I was there. Then I hear this awful crash and the smaller dog had got so excited he'd leaped up on the bedside locker and jumped onto my head. He licked my face like a dog possessed and I turned on my side to get away from him licking me and he wrapped himself like a scarf around my neck, his body to my back and his head on my shoulder next to my face

Just, dogs in general. We don't deserve them.

Every morning when I'm leaving the house I put my dog in her sitting room bed with a treat. By the time I get to the car she's always at the hall window looking out at me. If I ever forget something and have to go back into the house for it she absolutely pegs it back into bed when she sees me coming, as if I'll think she hasn't moved an inch even though I have literally just waved at her through the window.

Being able to go for my morning walk after three weeks of sneezy, coughy, snottiness.

Or stick your chin in your hot cup of tea (preferably when it's not too full!)
