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??

The 3-year-old began montessori recently. She came back last week and told us she knew all about this thing called the continents. So after dinner she got up and, clearly emulating her teacher, walked to the far side of the kitchen and used an imaginary map on the far wall to explain to us about all these continent things.

I, of course, had some questions back at the kitchen table and she got frustrated with me, walked into the next room where her toys were, fumbled about in the box, walked back in, waves a flashing stick at me which I quickly realised was a wand from her magic games and says 'Abracadabra! You're a frog. You can't talk anymore!' and roars laughing at me. Little fecker.

Whatever about that rebel, the 1-year-old is beautiful. Last night I put him into his little cliabhán and he was exuding love, hugging his little white teddy bear by sitting in what we'll call his yoga (!) position with his legs crossed, and moving his upper body forward into the cuddly bear repeatedly and smiling. He then hands me the bear to do the same so I'm outside the cot putting my massive head into this tiny bear (it is cuddly, though!) and he thinks this is so funny and gives the most infectious little laugh repeatedly. He finally falls into his own codladh an ghaiscígh with his little hand holding mine through the cot rail.

And to think some beguiling cailín is going to break that great little heart some day...

My TH is your posts about your children. They always put a smile on my face

Getting a flash of the lights or a wave of the hand from a driver after I've done something nice for them like letting them out at traffic. Love feeling appreciated.

I always let folk pass; have found that lorry drivers flash thank you but very few car drivers do and yes, makes me chuckle

So when a tractor pulls over to let me pass I let them know THANK YOU!

inspiring others through my autism presentations (I found out recently a person who saw one of my presentations was inspired by me to find her voice and is now writing a book). I'm honored

I got delayed in work today and had to rush to get my car cleaned for my NCT. They were closing but when they found out it was for my NCT, they kept it. They cleaned the outside and hoovered it. They even took the hubcaps off and closed all of my seatbelts. I am so grateful!!!!

There was a guy like that on Joe Duffy today; I think it was the pipes though?

I was in a taxi today and the taxi driver was telling me about how much he loves Irish folk music. He turned up the music in the car and then started playing the spoons to it

Just picked up a bottle of whisky I was waiting 4 weeks for...so worth it though

Was out at first light with the dog; something I have been looking forward to greatly. Clear, still, an almost unbearably lovely sky.

A fine start to the day.

Small fire lit, birds going crazy and all fed and sleeping..

I’ve been reading more lately than I have in a long time. Just finished a book there that I bought on Saturday. Reading was always a huge part of my identity growing up and it feels good to get back in touch with that again.

Spent the evening cleaning, and finishing the laundry. My house smells like clean clothes and nice candles. I had a lovely shower, massaged a lovely rich moisturizer in and am going to bed with a facial oil on my face that’ll nourish my skin overnight and leave it gorgeous for tomorrow. Bought a mattress topper in Aldi today so my bed is extra comfy, fresh sheets and a hot water bottle. I’m warm, clean and safe. Life is good

After 6 days, my laptop's here.

It's a Yoga 920. I've been using it, and it's looking good so far.

Walking home I saw a ginger kitty sitting by his gate(not the friendly guy) and I was trying to call him over to me and he was looking at me as if to say "who do you think you are now boi calling me over"

The car ran out of diesel yesterday morning it literally *chucked* as I approached the petrol station and then freewheeled to the pump!

6 week checkup this week, meaning I'll most likely be cleared to start running again. I cannot wait to get back out.

Yeah, they're gorgeous. There's a nesting pair at the Dodder near my house. That section of the Dodder valley is earmarked for development with a playground and mountain bike trail going in and if it fcuks with their habitat I will be absolutely livid.
