Trivial things that make you happy - Part 2 - The Happyning

Lorelli!

Nice people on public transport. A woman was standing beside her luggage on the bus today and she wasn't elderly or anything but she was too warm or something and looked like she was struggling. Three people got on and off and sat in the seat nearest where she was standing in the time I was on the bus and each one of them offered her the seat. She didn't take it but it was nice that they all noticed her.

Also I was shopping and found the exact right accessories I wanted to go with a dress I'm wearing to a wedding soon

new job and all going well so far. each day flying by.
I haven't been in a job in a long time where I'm actually eager to stay on after my shift is over.

maybe that says a lot about my life outside of work, by hey, it's not a bad complaint either lol

Resisted eating taytos last night (I’m off them for Lent). Very proud of my will power!

Very trivial but so happy I won't have to go to Easter ceremonies.

Come from a very religious family and the faith seems to have bypassed me. Always hated being forced to attend every event in the local church. As an adult I moved away and ignored the church. In later years when I visited I felt compelled to accompany my mother when she could no longer manage on her own.

I respected her faith and attended with good grace and she was never aware how I felt. It was the custom when I was little that everyone was a believer and so I kept my atheism to myself. I remember sitting in Mass as a very young child and wondering did anyone else feel as I did.

Got paid today, which at first confused me because I usually don’t get paid till Friday. But then I remembered that tomorrow’s Good Friday

A beautiful day in the South East today, it really lived up to it's name. I went out in a t shirt for the first time in I don't know how long. I saw a man driving a convertible and it made me smile

Hearing the Tantum Ergo sung at Mass this evening

Husband opened the window for freshair . I was about to give out but instead TH to hear two blackbirds sing to each other. If he hadn't opened the window we wouldn't have been privy to their beautiful flirting

Four Phucs Ache

Kids playing in the garden digging and filthy and climbing etc.....Xbox and fortnight being forgotten.

2-year-old just ran into me in the kitchen and "shouted" in a panic 'leithreas!' so I went over to him and helped put him on the potty in the middle of the kitchen floor. He sat down, sighed and said... 'Goodness gracious!' and giggled to himself. I'm utterly bereft of an explanation for where he got that from!

I can hear him now in the other room "crying" and his 4-year-old sister, otherwise known as "Mammy" in this game it appears, is telling him he needs to cry better to be a real baby so he's now doing these hilariously exaggerated baby cries and she has this really concerned Mammy tone. The amount of acting, role playing and drama that goes on between them is fascinating. Long live that creative world.

Beautiful.

If any of you haven't been to the Botanic Gardens in Kilmacurragh in Wicklow, get there at this time of year. His lordship and I drove - well, technically, I drove and himself sat in his baby chair talking for Ireland about everything he could see - there yesterday and the place is gorgeous with cherry blossoms in full bloom across the place. Really stunning colours. Everybody seemed fascinated by the place. While it's busier than it was when I was last there 5 years ago, it's still relatively quiet. It has a great history of the introduction of exotic trees to Ireland in the 19th century.

Entrance is free, which is fantastic - although the café, which needs to be extended as it was packed, has Avoca prices. It's a lovely, little-visited escape from Dublin.

Thank you !! Just googling where to go on this lovely day and it looks great

Kilmacurragh Gardens are beautiful and very under appreciated.
Similarly I think the Chester Beatty Library at the back of Dublin Castle, the Museum of Country Life near Castlebar are great and free to visit.
I remember leaving the Chester Beatty and one of the staff asked me if I enjoyed it. When I said I did he said make sure to come back often and make the most of it as my taxes were paying for it

This is it

Extra long weekend. Sitting in the sun enjoying lunch

Up all night with my “sick” pet pooch and first appointment of the day at the local vet. Off course, the little divil perks up when we arrive for our consultation and makes me look like an idiot, wagging her tail & barking. I give up!!!

I actually don't think there is. I feel ridiculously happy looking at the washing line full of clothes on a good day. Easily pleased

Early on in the year I bought a lawnmower and have mastered it. The smell of fresh cut grass was wafting through the house this evening.


"There's a smell of fresh cut grass...… don't go".

TH at the memory that song always brings. Laughing to myself as I remember my younger sister, who"d have been about 7, singing "there's a bosom flying around the bluebells and the daisies" rather than a "buzzing fly hanging around the bluebell....". She insisted she was singing it right:)

Just got a call from my dad.. "Hi Duvet Day, are you still in the leaba? “.." Ahhh yes but I was up earlier putting on the washing machine ".." It's a fabulous morning and you might not to see one like it again for a while, get up and meet us for brekkie in an hour "... They're 79 and 80 and full of life, I'd rarely get a call like this from them, it's like they know I need it.. Off to the shower with me now lol.

When someone hasn't spoken to you in a while so you're deeply worried as to whether you did something to upset them or not and you're hesitant to message them in case you unintentionally make things worse, then out of the blue they message/text you to ask how you've been.

Story of my life.

It's not just your life - that's happened me plenty of times as well. It's a sort of relief when you realise you hadn't do e anything wrong in the first place.

quickbeam

When someone hasn't spoken to you for a while, and you've initiated the last few contacts, some of which have gone unanswered, so you give up making the effort, and eventually they come back many months later with: "you've been quiet", to re-initiate contact. FFS, like it was me who made contact last you thick!

This is it

What a beautiful day! Washed and cleaned the car, went swimming, had a water fight, and went for ice cream. More than trivially happy
