I was headed to my favorite rib place for Sunday dinner and found them to be quite short handed. I had to wait longer than usual for my to-go order and used the time to look at the walls. I stared for a while at the ornately framed photo of the owner's grandmother – the one lady who developed their barbecue sauce – and then noticed for the first time another framed photo. A skinny, vaguely familiar middle-aged man had his arm around the owner. ALICE COOPER! Oh, it was Alice Cooper alright. He signed the picture. I just didn't immediately recognize him with a baseball cap but minus the mascara.
So me and Alice, we like the same rib joint. That made me happy, too. Sometimes if you just take a moment to notice things, you'll get a little jolt of joy.
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.
