What Made You Happy Today?

Sometimes with busy schedules and news reports predicting the end of days, we forget to savor the little things. It could be something as simple as your favorite tea on sale or as amazing as the birth of a new grandbaby. What made you happy today?
I'll start...on the way home we stopped at the groomer around the corner. They do rescue work on the side and last year there was dog I brought home. I called her Bootsy, an AmStaff like Sophie, friendly and easygoing. Unfortunately like Sophie she had a needy side. By the end of the first night she tried to wander into "Sophie's bathroom" and Sophie attacked.

We took Bootsy back and her paw healed eventually...but she was still homeless for almost a year. We stopped to visit tonight and heard the wonderful news. Bootsy found her forever home, I wish her the very best!!!!
 

So good to hear that Bootsy found a loving home, I really like to hear those happy endings...gotta make any animal lover feel happy. :) What made me happy today was that we saw around a half dozen deer when we went to the park with the puppy, then when we got back home there were several more behind our house. We've had snow and the weather has been really cold, but the sun was out today and they all seemed to be groovin'.

The other little thing that made me happy was we were sitting on the bed with the pup, whose become friends slowly with our cat day by day. Well today, the cat jumped up on the bed with all of us, started purring and stayed while I petted him. When the pup went over to him, they were nose to nose and really seemed to be okay with each other and bonding. I'm thrilled, I love them both and want them to be close buddies. :love_heart:
 

I'm happy for you all Sea!!! Cats are like that, they know they are superior to canines but they can still work it out if it suits them.

I liked your story of the dog who found her forever home, the nose-to-nose happy meeting and the great picture of that kitten and the lovely dog. I've always been partial to that sort of face colouring.

So what made me happy today? Our house passed the inspection with flying colours ....... but that's offset by the snow falling all day......so in my case I'm in the same place that I was in this morning :confused: but that's okay because some folks are having hard times so it's all good right :)!
 
sat and worked on puzzle with my supergirl most of the day, took grandsons to ball practice and checked in on the internet too much :)
 
That's the cutest kitten ever. Just love those marmalades. Nice story and gorgeous pic, Fur. :love_heart:
 
It got cloudy while we were out riding our bikes. Made me happy as it became a LOT cooler and the ride more pleasurable.
 
I came to the library to write an inquiry letter. Any of the epic writers here know that feeling of writers block. More like writers fear actually. What am I going to say?...I could just do this tomorrow...I mean I have the notes...but really where do I even begin?...if I read something or go on the seniors site and fool around I can relax a bit...Really I don't know where to start...
Then you have the blank screen pop up and suddenly the sentences just start appearing out of somewhere, just flowing magically and filling the page. And best of all it wasn't fiction writing, it was all real live experience. Maybe there's a position with this place just waiting for me?:D:D:D

Got a phone call from a dear friend and we chatted away like magpies for a nice long time.

Which is unusual, because I generally despise phones and I took that pesky vow of silence last year ...

But it WAS a dear friend, so the vow doesn't count. :D
 
I spent the day dancing ( afternoon dance ) :banana: and going out for tea with our good friends for my 70 th Birthday which is not till Wednesday 3 rd Feb ..but at least I can sit down and relax for now ..out again tomorrow for just a little party for my actual birthday :popcorn::present:
 
I finally got all the photos out of the album that was falling apart,labeled and arranged them and put them in their new home. Only problem,I'm only up to 1954! I'm taking a break though. I have my coloring book, DVD's to watch with the hubby, and books to read. What a busy life I lead.lol
 
Thank you ,for the greetings ..Ruth .....it's tomorrow I'm an Aussie.. it's Tuesday morning here 8 am :)
