Not The Trivial things that make you happy

All Hail President Murphy · 2014-02-27 11:25:56

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…

Getting the grass cut just before it starts raining. (You didn't catch me out this time!!!)

Looking at your credit card balance and realising you have not used it in weeks. Nice Zero balance.
Great excuse to get spending!

Having an entire birthday month and treating yourself to something nice once a day, kind of like an advent calendar

Nope...not that. But imagining you with a long flowing beard is a Trivial happiness.

When you open the washing machine, and you realize that the tissue that sneaked in with the load of wash, despite your checking every pocket multiple times, hasn't dissolved at all!

I managed not to drink a drop all weekend and am going to keep it up. More clear headed mornings and more time to spend keeping fit and getting some new hobbies going. The dawn has awakened!

When my puppy (well he's almost 3 now) sits guarding me from his big brother. He sits on my foot, wiggles his bum back until his ass is wedged on my ankle bone, sits with his ears up alert and waiting to push the older dog away, or grumble at my oh. He does not like anyone touching me. And you can tell he is raging when they ignore him and do it anyway, he just tries get in between me and them and give me the most attention til the others go away and then he's back sitting on my foot waiting for him to come back

I'm reading the latest Ross O Carroll Kelly book. The plot is non existent, but it still makes me laugh.

smiled at the irony of a striking bus worker who was being interviewed, and said he was looking for Shane Ross to intervene, saying "if he doesn't want to do the job he's being paid to do, he should just resign"

TH at my new quote unquote lifetime guarantee mobile cable complete with nylon flex. If the manufacturer really wanted to stand over their claim they should have hired me as a product tester at the design stage because my aggressive use would soon be able to call bulls*it on that. Let's see if the cable tells a fable but for now I'm TH.
