An intriguing book I saw yesterday

Last night we were shopping at the Super Store (mainly for the air conditioning. I was actually pressing myself up against the dairy shelves, much to Emma’s amusement because they were so nice and cold! Ah….ice). I ran across this book called 14,000 Things To Be Happy About. Here’s the web site http://www.thingstobehappyabout.com/. It is full of random things to be happy about…some (i.e. a summer rain storm) more than others (warm mittens). –Boy, I’m sure focused on temperature today, aren’t I?– With the frantic pace of today’s world it’s easy to forget all the little things (and sometimes big things) there are to be happy about. Some days it’s hard to even realize that there may be 1 thing, never mind 14,000 things to possibly be happy about. This book is just a list, a very long, very random list but I think it is very much needed. Not the actual book, of course, but the idea of the book. On the darkest days of your life, it’s easy to forget how good an easter lily smells or what grass feels like on your bare feet. It seems like the media is so focused on the negative these days. And of course, what the media focuses on, the world focuses on. Perhaps this surge of negativity can be diluted a tiny bit by postive thinking. It’s not always going to be the best day of your life like your wedding day full of joy. Some days are mediocre and some just plain suck. Check out the site if you need a little smile, maybe it will help!
