The Essential 'Shot

"These are the contents of my head"

Is 'Happinesses' a word?

Monday, August 23, 2010

I was going to write about all the people I know who are either going through a major medical crisis themselves or are dealing with a close family member who is seriously ill. I started to, but it’s not a very happy subject so I’ve decided instead to write about all the small happinesses I’ve had recently.

In no particular order:

I went with some friends to see The Black Crowes at the Chicago Theater. The band played an hour long acoustic set, took a short break and then finished the evening with almost two more hours of good old electrified rock and roll. One of the people that went is a young lady I met ages ago when I was dating her friend. We reconnected via (…guesses anyone…?) that’s right FACEBOOK and the friendship is something that’s quite nice. I admit to having a mini-crush on the girl, but that’s as far as that’ll go and I’m OK with it. Ironically her (pregnant) friend has a crush on me.

One of the other concert goers is a tattoo artist, so I have a new ‘connection’ and you may be seeing some new art on my body in the not too distant future. Suggestions anyone?

Let’s see…happy…happy…

I was going to put the Ren & Stimpy Happy Happy Joy song here, but you can just google or youtube it yourselves. I'll wait.

…um…

Adam came over for dinner and to hang out on Friday last. He’s really turned into quite an amazing young man and I’m excited for his future. He’s finishing up at the Junior College soon (the next to last semester started today) and has plans laid out to attend Trinity College (Deerfield, IL) for his Bachelor’s Degree. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that his girlfriend of over a year is now attending the very same institution of higher learning.

Mama & Papa ‘Shot are doing well. They’ve both lost a good bit of weight and are plugging right along.

Brother Spider’s birthday is tomorrow. I haven’t gotten him anything, but as I probably won’t see him anytime soon (he’s always so busy) I have time.

Not much to complain about really. I have my health (such as it is) and a job and a roof over my head. I guess that’s good enough for me right now.

So tell me, dear reader, what small happinesses have you had?

Awwwwwwww!

And just thinking, isn't it just wonderful when your small happinesses grow into delightful grown up sons!

Just acquired a small happiness of my own too - a new granddaughter! Just can't resist the chance to mention her!!!
