August Happiness Challenge -- Day 24

 Today's happiness: Cheap Eats

My 2024 Happiness Icon

Saturday I met my friends, Nancy and Paul, for lunch at a fast food place in my old hometown, just around the corner from where I got my hair cut. I got 2 pieces of broasted chicken, fries, and cole slaw for just $8.79. Paul got a hamburger and Nancy had the pita club. In this world of chains, it's nice to support a small, independent business.
 
It was also nice to see them. Especially since this time it was Paul's idea. Nancy texted me earlier in the week and said, "Paul is asking when it's time for your hair cut so we can get together." That made me happy, since Paul "got" me when he married Nancy. It's nice to know I'm his friend now, too.


Happy 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.
