University Freebies

When I came back to get my degree, I loved going to all the events on campus and learning about new ideas and skills. However, once I graduated, I got caught up in the work world and left all of the events behind.

Fortunately, one of my good friends, took me to see a piano concert at the local university for my birthday.  I had forgotten what a great resource this was.  I picked up an upcoming schedule of events on my way out. WoW! I was amazed at all the happenings- lectures, recitals, concerts, movies...

It was wonderful.  I have already put several on my calendar.

Don't put your head in the sand. Get out and try something new!!

536 Million Dollars

I must admit that I did buy a lottery ticket.  However, spending that $1 gave me a lot of happiness.  What I did was plan out, like I am sure, many people did, how I would spend the money if I won.  Of course there were the usuals: travel, pay off debt, save, quit my job. 

Who would you help if you won the lottery?

The real fun though came when I was figuring out whom to give the "rest" to.  Would I build the animal shelter a new building, give my school a new baseball field.  It was very interesting to see where my priorities came out.

Another one

I just went on the Happiness Blog and another person mentioned that ironing sheets was something that gave her WAY more happiness than she expected. WooHoo! I am not alone

Spring had sprung

One of the greatest free luxuries I am enjoying right now, besides my friends :-) love ya, are some podcasts.  My greatest joy these past two weeks is to come home on a Friday night after work, grab some chips and a coke, and watch my favorite reality shows online.

Also a COMPLETE 180 degrees that I enjoy everyday, is working in my garden. I love digging in the dirt. I take a foot of ground and dig it up and then take out all the rocks and weeds.  Get it ready to plant something wonderful in it.  I talk to God at this time and it has help my sanity.  Plus may cats love to play in the garden. (also pee pee in it as well) -)
