Even happier if…
Today’s post is a list. You would be forgiven to think that lists are an easy-out when it comes to writing, but they are really hard work because they make you think and reflect. So, it’s not a total cop-out. (Although it is yet another diversion from the task I’m meant to be working on today.)
25 things that would make me even happier if they happened tomorrow:
- Finding a way to pay for my PhD
- Having someone declare their undying love to me
- Gaining Scottish (OK, British) citizenship
- Getting a car (a classic Sting Ray, preferably)
- Losing my unsightly belly fat
- Finding someone to snuggle on the couch with
- Breaking a 28-minute 5K
- Winning the lottery
- Flirting with a cute boy
- Teaching a young child something fun and exciting
- Having a nice, long chat with a good friend
- Eating a full-on, proper American burger (dill pickles and all!)
- Curling up on the couch to watch a movie with a friend
- Finding money I didn’t know I had in my pocket
- Finding a steady supply of lovely Washington State red wines (and some whites)
- Being whisked away for a weekend retreat somewhere fantastic
- Playing a round of golf
- Getting a membership to the Scotch Malt Whisky Society
- Finding out that my blood disease thing is in remission
- Learning how to whistle with my fingers
- Getting a really great new gadget
- Having a viable teleportation device so that I could (easily) visit family around the world
- Finding a place in Scotland that sold root beer on tap
- Having the sunshine follow me around all day long
- Finding a way to pay for my PhD (sorry, that one deserves two mentions)
Of course, I would also just be happy to make it through the day without anything bad happening. A bit of boringness and apathy is preferable to stress, sadness, and bad luck.
How about you? What would make tomorrow a happier day in your world?
