Today's Happy Cone goes to my trusty Kenmore Energy Star air conditioner.
This was one of those days when I don't want to go outside. Hot and humid. It was such sweet relief to come in and know that within a few minutes I'll be comfortable.
The AC is one of those modern miracles -- like electricity and running water -- that I take for granted until I'm without it. I shouldn't be that jaded, and the Happy Cone shall remind me to be and stay delighted.
What's that you say? What's the August Happiness Challenge?
Each day in August you are to
post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it
doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a
great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in
our lives, our communities, and the world.
If you want to play along, just come back here (meaning to this blog, not this individual post) each day in August,
looking for the happy chocolate cone. Every day I will try to have a post with the headline: August Happiness Challenge: Day [X]. Leave a comment and then post your own daily
happiness, with August Happiness Challenge in the title to make it easy
to find.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I love refrigerated air. Unapoligetically.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had to plug mine in this summer--the evenings have cooled down enough for me to sleep with just fans in the window. It's been a weird weather summer. (I'm not complaining)
