Five Friday Happy Bringers 11/8/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

To be honest, after Tuesday’s foreboding election results, I have had sad difficulty finding happiness. Until I realized, once again, that true happiness is in the small things of life.

1. Colorful fall chrysanthemums.

2. The belief that, no matter how dark it gets, there are sources of light.

3. Grandson Daniel winning Best Actor (for two years in a row now!) for his portrayal of Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love at the high school regional one-act play competition in Vidalia, GA (yes, the Vidalia of onion fame).

4. Riding the Amtrak train yesterday from Savannah over to Charleston, South Carolina for a wonderful day trip with Robert and ex-wife Donna.

5. My 24Kt gold-rimmed cocktail at the Charleston Place Thoroughbred Club after the harpist rudely took a break. (We had claimed squatter’s rights at the hotel by that time.)

What do you mean, you don’t believe me?!

May you find a spot of gold somewhere in your weekend ahead.
