| Rizz is happy about Reynaldo |
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.
Day One was a pretty good day all around. I got a new (loaner) laptop at work that is sooo much faster than the old one. I attended an entertaining storytelling workshop. Then I got home and watched the Cubs beat the Diamondbacks 16 to 4.
But I wasn't surprised Tuesday was a good day, because it started well.
Reynaldo let me sleep, all the way until my alarm went off!
Usually my beige tomcat wanders in well before dawn -- motivated by boredom or hunger -- and mews and knocks items, one by one, off my dresser. This never gets him the outcome he desires. Instead of a hug and a snack, he gets yelled at, chased and a door closed on his tail.
But this morning, I was allowed to sleep until the waking time of my choosing. Reynaldo was a good boy. I rewarded him by cuddling him and carrying him -- like the little prince he can be when he wishes to be -- to his food and water.
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 Cub. 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.
I'd love to hear more about your storytelling workshop! What prompted you to go? Where was it held? Who else was there?
ReplyDeleteAnd good boy, Rey!
