Happiness lately

Here's to things that make me HAPPY lately:

1. Video by Dirty Projectors for their song "Stillness is the Move". Saw them at dark was the night and was intrigued by their innovative sounds and big voices.

2. Went to the Daily Show with Jon Stewart yesterday with a friend. The greatness of Jon Stewart lies not only in his humor and on point commentary, but in his humility and kindness. Loved it.

3. Sushi of Gari - perfection.

4. {Horton Hears a Who} - this made me cry like a baby last night - tears of joy that is. So many little lessons packed into one animated movie. And if you know me, you know I just love life lessons packed into animated movies. Sigh...this made me so happy. If you want to learn about the heart and what makes it tick... 

*spoiler* I wanted to kill that kangaroo, but then Horton offers forgiveness and friendship, and I *sob* *tear* realized that's what true love is...right?? Watch this and it will lift your spirits.

5. Making music...

6. {Surprises}: especially super special surprises. Saturday morning doorbell rings and 2 tickets arrive for No Doubt at Jones beach! And of course is was one of the best nights of my life. Seriously. So happy. "I'm just a giiirrrllll in the world, that's all that you'll let meee beeeeee....."

7. A few patches of sunshine through the rainy days

8. Pale pink/lavender chrysanthemums (also a surprise delivery)

9. knowing that the puppy will soon be neutered. I would do it myself if I could. Get out the old chopping block and knife. All it would take is a couple of snip snip snips really, or one easy ~slice~....

10. Upcoming 4th of July weekend! Going out to the countryside...

Hope all of you have lots of happy little things to enjoy as well...
