Subject: What has made you happy today?So, after reading about alleged cheating, and other concerns, I am wondering, is anyone out there having a good time? It is so easy to become blah about the state of the world, but here are a few things that made me happy this morning:
- Sun was rising just as the full moon was setting; pretty cool!
- Saw two elk playing in a meadow as I drove to the pool; I've seen plenty of elk, but never have I seen two apparently "playing."
- My zen-like swim this morning; I was concentrating on not slapping the water with my upper arm on the recovery and suddenly swimming became effortless and I felt transported. Weird, I know, but it happened.
- My 17 yo daughter (our family high school dropout ) came home safely after completing her first year of college.
- My wife had the shower on when I got back and it was all nice and warm for me.
- Seeing two amputees working themselves hard in the pool; it made me feel good about my health and happy for their indomnitable spirit.
I know there is plenty of misery in the world, but for me, this morning, I lost myself in the joy of simply living.
