Eight Days of Happy: Day 1
I was tagged! I don't necessarily do tag-memes unless I want to, and I don't tag people, but I was thinking this one looked fun anyway; I enjoy looking on my f'list and seeing "days of happy" posts.
EIGHT DAYS OF HAPPY!
1. Post about something that made you happy today, even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this every day for eight days.
3. Tag eight of your friends to do the same.
1. Well, today's big happy is of course this: Vermont becomes 4th state to legalize same-sex marriage. This also kinda clinches it: if we ever move somewhere other than Alaska, Vermont is at the top of the list. On a driving trip with my sister two years ago, I fell in love with their gorgeous mountains and waterfalls and little mill towns. And I really can't tell you how well a state with gay marriage and some of the most permissive gun laws in the country fits the political profile of this household. *g*
(I think the bit that really got me in the article was the maple syrup farmer who came down to the capital for the passing of the bill. Because "rural" does not have to be synonymous with "close-minded", "bigoted" or "redneck".)
2. The sun is out, and it's supposed to get above freezing every day this week! I'm thoroughly ready to get rid of some of this snow.
3. Yesterday I did a cleaning job on the upstairs that really needed to be done, and it makes me happy to look around and see my office space all tidy -- not immaculate (I don't think I'm capable of that), but not taunting me with a massive cleaning job that needed doing, either.
4. I'm happy for the people on my f'list who are heading into Passover and Easter, because it makes them happy. Those aren't my holidays, but going on my f'list and seeing people making preparations to celebrate their holidays with family and friends definitely makes me happy.
