Reasons to be cheerful

Got this from Wil Wheaton, who in turn got it from muskrat_john’s Dork Tidings, and I just HAD to write to it because it’s such a beautiful morning, and I am cheerful already: Reasons To Be Cheerful.

“The Rules: Name three – and only three – things that make you happy. Ideally, these should be small, easily taken for granted things. But if there’s something big you’d like to share, share away!”

1. Dawn. Especially on a fine clear morning like today’s. It was so beautiful this morning just the last few seconds before the sun came up. The sky was a deep indigo with one star still peeping out, and a couple of birds were singing to each other in the neighbour’s palm tree. It was quiet, and peaceful, and everything felt clean. Then when the sun came up, the light was just WOW (I have no words to describe it), and made everything look beautiful. Even now I am enjoying the colour the sunshine is making the colourbond fence outside my window. Just perfect, and just one more reason to continue waking up at five o’clock every morning.
2. Baubles the Cat’s purr. Do I really need to say more?
3. A strong cup of tea with a drop of milk.

Best read to the tune of Oh what a beautiful morning.

What makes you cheerful?
