Posting challenge 4/17: Happy-making
Last week write_out tagged me to post ten things that were making me happy, and, deep in the midst of my self-indulgent spring-semster doldrums, I was stumped--could I think of ten things that were currently making me happy? And then my router broke, and I wasn’t able to get online much at all for a few days, and a proper sense of perspective was restored.

Did you watch last year, too? They change so quickly. Can't wait to watch these two grow! M.

Watching the return of spring. And yes, it IS returning, in spite of the recent snow. The goldfinches are turning gold, the summer birds are returning. My daffodils are up a couple of inches. Friends have snowdrops in bloom. Water is running in the streams. The potholes are getting bigger.
Having a warm house.
Having food to eat.
Having a car that is dependable. (Which reminds me, I have to get a slow leak in a tire fixed.)
Having friends who really care about me.
Having family that loves and supports me.
Having good health. Not perfect, but good.
Being able to sleep as much as I want most days.
My dog and my cat.
Watching the birds at the feeders.
Having internet friends to "talk" to.
(That's more than 10, is that OK? :D )

I saw via a fellow northern New Englander that you were emerging slowly from winter! Snow very recently, but now some warm weather. We had one day in the 80s this week, so already winter is seeming like a distant memory. How quickly we (well, I), forget from season to season. M.

I've actually had kind of a rough week, so I do need some hummingbird happiness. :/

I just stopped by LJ because I'm migrating my old stuff over to DW, and I'm so happy to see you! In all this kerfuffle, I'd love to not lose you to the complete past. So that is a thing making me happy! Who are you on Tumblr? I'm thewesternredcedar over there. I'm there now sort of, even though I still hate it and don't know how to use it to keep up with people.
Hope you are doing well. I'd love to catch up sometime!! *hugs*

Hope you set up camp at DW? I'm sad about the LJ situation--in a geopoltical sense and, selfishly, because so much of my own fannish history is over here--but I'm hoping folks reconvene on DW. Tumblr has many lovely features, but conversation facilitation is not one of them.
I'm on tumblr at notquitepetworth. (I had magnetic_pole over there, but I subscribed to too many work-related blogs and got completely overwhelmed. I'm now trying just light, happy things at notquitepetworth.) I'll find and add you.
Drop me a note at some point at magnetic dot pole dot too at gmail? I'd love to hear how you're doing. M.
