Another New Thing!

Fridays are now mini Thanksgivings.

I've always heard that the key to happiness is 'wanting what you already have.'
And now that I am noticing all the little things that I didn't have in 2009 (like plates or orderly traffic or clear drinking water), I absolutely agree.

Inspired by my friend Leah and this new friend Christina, I decided to make a list every Friday. Please add your own comments. And by the end of the year, we'll have a big old list of things that make us happy. I'll make a downloadable poster of our big fat list, and you can hang it up to remind yourself every day that life is good. In my pre-travel life, this shit would have made me gag. But now I realize what happiness is. It's:

peanut butter
freshly laundered sheets (still warm from the dryer)
mail from my mom
old T-shirts
cuddling
squirrels who think that if they stand really still you won't see them
warm rain
old people who bathe together (sorry. it was a photo series, and I couldn't leave this last one out)

Until next Friday...
