August Happiness Challenge -- Day 29

Today's happiness -- My shower radio.  As the month comes to an end, I want to take this opportunity to honor the $15 appliance that inspired this year's "Happy" photo.

This morning, while I lathered and rinsed, I sang along with "Working My Way Back to You, Babe" by The Four Seasons and "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" by Chicago.

Singing in the shower reliably lifts my spirit and gets me ready for the day.

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.

August Happiness Challenge -- Day 28

Today's happiness -- A seat on the train.  Just in time for the evening commute, there was a mechanical disruption on the el. My trains were running very late. Consequently they were very crowded. Yet, when the doors opened before me, there it was ... glowing like a Wonka golden ticket -- a seat!

To put this miracle in perspective, an estimated 25,000 ride the Green Line one way or the other every day. And I got a seat! I could read my book in peace, all the way home!
