No, not that. You may feel like a floating cloud sometimes, but even I know that you can't be one. (Can you?) Keep reading.
No whining for Jazz in this posting! Note: I just started reading the Haphazard Life blog, so there may be whining in other postings, okay? This is not a problem for me, I just don't want the responsibility. So anyway, can you list 50, yes 50, things that give you some kind of happiness? HIT wants to know! Maybe I'll try too.
If you do list on your blog, let me know please. And thank you.

Welcome to my blog. And you can do it. When you think of it, there are so many little things that make one smile or perk up your day. One I didn't put down is my monster mutant lucky bamboo which is about 4 feet high now and always growing. And I usually manage to kill plants within three weeks of getting them!
ReplyDeleteOh, and there's plenty of whining at Haphazard Life. Yes ineedly... ;-)
Good stuff. This sounds just like the thing for me right now. I think I'll play along. Give me a day or two, I'll come back and let you know when I've posted.
