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??

Relief is a wonderful feeling.

Without going into too much detail, my partner exhibited a worrying medical problem a few days ago and I stupidly Googled his symptoms and of course, was terrified it was the big C.

I spent the last few days with what I can only describe as this big ball of tension in my stomach.
Have you had it?

It feels like an actual knot of worry in the pit of your stomach and you can't shake it.
I made an appointment for him today but all yesterday and this morning I was so worried. I couldn't eat a morsel of food.

I went shopping this morning and I became sweaty and shaky in the supermarket.
I was clammy, my legs were trembling and I felt absolutely horrible.
It was the worry.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, he saw the doctor and after a chat and some tests and questions, everything is fine.
That ball of tension disappeared when we left the surgery.

Headed to the shop for some milk and everything seemed brighter.
The sky seemed bluer, the people around me...I just wanted to hug them all.

I came home and had a slice of toast and a cup of tea and you know what?
It was the nicest thing I'd ever eaten.

Relief is blessed.

I'm glad it worked out FO, there's nothing more frightening than fearing for someone's health.

When I see my dog sitting on the window and waiting for me to come back home. He always jumps off and runs to a door when I fully parked.

When I lay my head beside my cat when she's lying down and she purrs really loudly, puts her paw on my face and just looks into my eyes. Makes my heart melt

the birds that come into my garden every day for their bread and the fact they are using the birdbath now too.
Love watching them have a little drink and splash around. I get all Disney inside

When I was about 11 we had a cat that purred wildly if you made any sort of physical contact with you at all, would run right over to you and start purring wildly. I got it into my head that this meant she was receiving sexual gratification off me and was terrified to be near her.

Why on earth am I posting this?

Uhm... Croissants! I like croissants, they make me happy and would be hard pushed to be any more trivial.

Hate to sh!t on your buzz there but bread is awfully bad for birds. Bird seed is very very cheap to buy if you really like having them around

It's raining outside and I'm at home, indoors with my feet up, and it's Friday!

One of our cats spends most of his time sprawled on his back and he'll stretch himself out to me with big smiley eyes to come over and pet him. He always melts my heart and makes me smile, especially when I think back to the state he was in last year when he first showed up in our back yard. He was all matted and half starved, now he's well upholstered and happy:)

My boss told me to take today to myself because I've worked late all week

I woke up early and cleaned my place from top to bottom, changed my bedding and did all my laundry, and went back to bed for a snooze. Heaven!

You're supposed to only tell the above tall tale at the next beer meetup I come to. Otherwise you'll sound like everybody else there.

This reminded me of one for me

When I see birds walking about and am reminded they're descendents of dinosaurs, I start imagining them as stupid little dinosaurs and it amuses me no end.

Unexpected good friends. Met this guy out one night last summer, it was what it was, random kiss and we swapped numbers. I put my name as "surprise!" In his phone that night and he still hasn't changed it.

He's become one of my best friends, we talk every single day, I can tell him anything and we just get on so well.

ANYWAY, I've had a rough week, and to cheer me up he finally agreed to let me give him an 'intimate' wax. He text me after I went home to tell me how special I am to him, how he's happy he met me and how hell never do anything that may jeprodise our friendship, despite how much he likes me.

Now I feel all sappy and happy and squishy and hormonal. Super good friends make me super happy, especially since it was a completely by chance we even ended up meeting.
