Just Happy
September 8, 2007 by piereth
There are times when life is eminently unsatisfying, as though you’d eaten but the food had no calorific value at all.
And then, there are times when you feel such a feeling of happy fullness, of satiation, of having actually more than you deserve.
This is where I am. My life is perfect.
I had a wonderful day today; I saw Z and B, two friends I don’t see enough of, and caught up; I went to a local craft fair and bought fairings; I was offered two jobs, both of which I’d love to take but don’t have to; I bought myself a present without feeling guilty, and was offered a free mystery gift which turned out to be astonishingly apposite and appropriate for me. The weather was beautiful and serene, and all the people in my life make me feel wonderful. I am blessed.
This is normally the point at which I drop something on my foot..
Yeah, know the feeling there! Reading this back it is almost asking for the great Dog of Life to turd on my doormat, n’est-ce pas? Silly me…
as ever the great Blackadder has the phrase for such an occasion: “Fortune vomits on my eiderdown yet again….”
And as usual he was right…
Savouring such days is one of the (many) reasons you have so many good friends. You take time to appreciate the good.
If only I could take more time to do so. I feel that I miss out on all the savour in my friends sometimes by skating along too fast to notice they are there… I know they are, but I take too little time to show I know.
