Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows everywhere

It’s probably very obvious by reading a few of my posts that I’m a very sarcastic, negative person. But it the spirit of fairness (ie the other side of my personality) I’ve decided to talk about happy, smiley things this time.

I know everyone has hidden secret loves that no matter what mood they are in, will instantly draw a smile – and not in an evil way! So, without further ado, let me announce Lulu’s List of Happy Thoughts (the ones that you have to think of to make Tinkerbell’s fairy dust work):

1. A snuggle from my kitty (until my allergies kick and and then it can get the heck away from me).

 2. Eddie Guerrero’s smile. You know – the one that he used to get just after he’d successfully played possum and his opponent just realised what was happening but it was too late because Eddie had already won the match and the ref hadn’t seen a thing. Yep, that’s the one!

3. Someone higher in the food chain agreeing with me. Everyone likes getting a pat on the back and if it comes from higher up, it’s even better.

4. Ice cream that’s just melted enough that you can swirl it around with a spoon, but that can still give you a brain freeze if you eat it too quickly.

5. Finding forgotten money in purses or jackets that I haven’t used for ages. Especially when you weren’t the last person who used it. More fool them for not checking the pockets.

6. Having my hair sit exactly how I want it to, without having to spend half an hour pinning it in place.

7. Wearing a new pair of shoes and not having them rub or cause blisters.

8. Being the only person in the office not coughing and spluttering after an outbreak of the flu.

9. A really good head massage or just someone else brush my hair for a while.

And probably one of the most embarrassing happy thoughts for a twenty-five year old:

10. John Farnham songs. Yes, I said it. I can’t maintain a frown when little Johnny Farnham is singing. Any song from Sadie to that duet with Human Nature, will make me smile involuntarily. It’s even worse since I saw him in concert a few years ago. I’ll actually catch myself singing along, loud enough that people can actually hear me!

On a scale of one to ten, these aren’t such a bad list. Most of them are free or relatively inexpensive, which is much better because I’ve always been told that money can’t buy happiness.

Mind you…that’s one theory I’d love to test. I’m sure that’ll make me happy!
