Buttered Graham Crackers!?!?

January 6th and 7th... 20 reasons to be happy. (at least according to my calendar :) )

• chubby candles
• an afternoon made for writing
• perpetuating kindness
• flavorful spices
• watching a woodturner
• a ladies' lunch
• asking a bunch of questions
• the ski patrol
• chicken Kiev
• blushing Golden Delicious apples
• Michigan Rummy
• a Big Mac and French fries
• good clean jokes
• praise
• a dictionary by the bed
• a dollhoue with electricity
• de-icing the car
• buttered graham crackers
• a sharpened chef's knife
• waiting patiently

I'm not full of many opinions or words today... but I do want to say waiting patiently would be a reason to be happy if it were possible, buttered graham crackers sound disgusting, and I guess a dictionary by the bed would be handy if you dream about words?  I don't know. 

I will include the weekend's reasons to be happy while I'm at it since I will not be at work (thank goodness) to look at my day-by-day calendar.

January 8th and 9th:

• snow revealed by the porch light
• movie-star smiles
• landmark birthdays
• attempting to beat a Guinness world record
• grandfather clocks ticking
• five-onion soup
• newspapers in coffee shops
• highlights in your hair
• used-book scavenging
• a generous supply of leftover Christmas cookies
• an afternoon of quiet
• cooking dinner with family
• prints bought at a local art fair
• winter fruits
• sharing family history
• a chicken and biscuit casserole
• museum steps
• funky dance music
• bundling up for a snowball fight
• a pleasant song in your head

Some of these really do make me happy.  :)  I'd like to mix a few together... like an afternoon of quiet with five-onion soup, a generous supply of leftover Christmas cookies, and a pleasant song in your head... followed by snow revealed by the porch light and bundling up for a snowball fight.  Sounds good to me!

HAPPY FRIDAY!
