THESE THINGS MAKE ME HAPPY


It was 52 degrees here in Fairbanks, Alaska today.  
As I was outside walking I was overwhelmed 
with a "happy" feeling that spring is here.  

There's other things that make me happy too...

  • I got a haircut before things closed down
  • We haven't run out of toilet paper
  • Bella Grace magazines
  • Zoom-with-the-family-celebration for Dave's birthday

  • Handmade face masks


  • $1.99 gasoline. We haven't seen gasoline this cheap here for probably a decade. 
  • Daffodils
  • Easter celebration, even though it was very different this year
  • Visit with the family on Easter...with social distancing

  • Drive-throughs and pick-ups for meals when I get tired of cooking, which is fairly often.
  • FaceTime, Marco Polo and Zoom apps
  • Connecting with the LifePoint Church family by Zoom
  • Airline credits on trips we had to cancel
  • Longer daylight hours
  • Water boots for walking in melting snow.
  • Sunshine and 50 degrees
  • A snow-free driveway.
  • Isolation Survival Kit (created by Jami)

  • Connecting with the granddaughters


We can’t change how things are, but we can change how we will approach today. And yes, an attitude can spread. Begin with us.  Seth Godin
