#129: An Extra Hour

Reason to Be Happy #129:

An "Extra" Hour

Personally, I hate the whole idea of Daylight Savings Time. I'd much rather have it be light longer in the evening than earlier in the morning. Wintertime can be bleak enough, but when it starts getting dark at 5:00 PM, it's depressing. But, that said, I love being "given" and "extra" hour in a day. What a lovely gift! The idea of it makes me happy, even if the practice of it not so much.

There's just something kinda lovely about them. And Starbucks appropriately waits until after Halloween.

Crossed Cat Paws

I love it when my cat crosses his paws. I'm a sucker for it, in fact. It will always make me smile.

Books So Good They Make You Weep In Public Places

The latest culprit? The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Wow. It had me crying, sniffling, back-shaking, blowing my nose in the Philedelphia Airport last weekend. What took me so long to read this book? Loved it. I hardly remember even being on the plane, so lost was I in the story!

An Empty Seat Next to You on a Plane

Added bonus? An empty seat next to you in an exit row.

It's the little things, right? These days air travel is only marginally above being on a bus, as far as the glamor factor goes.
