Happiness – Day 6
Posted on Apr 30th, 2009 by Allison (Whatever)

Today was another beautiful day – in the mid 60s – perfect for walking along the river again.   Today is a bit of a repeat on yesterday’s happiness….  there’s a kind of perpetual happiness I feel whenever I look at the beautiful area in which I live.  Even after 5 1/2 years of being here, each time I go out I sigh as I look at the evergreens, and ferns, and flowering bushes and trees….  I really love it here.  It makes me happy.

 I was also happy that my experiment at making a mock Chicken Milanese turned out ok.  Certainly not up to Machiavelli’s standard, but pretty tasty, and a nice change from my usual fare. 

Also happy that there is a good chance that the evil bright safety light on the back of my building will be turned off.   Some of you know how very strongly I feel about obnoxious lighting, and how disturbed I was when this light was turned on (after a year of living here).  So I’m happily looking forward to the potential of dark nights in my little back yard again.

What made you happy today?

Aside from lunch at Einstein’s today, I am also happy that we got Emily’s dance photos back today, and they turned out super cute!

I want to see them!

I’ll send Alex over with his pellet gun to take care of your night light situation… :D

Your scenery would be impossible to tire of. It is continually magnificent.

I do know how much you abhor obnoxious things, like Audrey.

You do live in the Garden of Eden.

Oh, yes. Your loathing of light pollution. Remember when you asked some of the young men to go shoot the light out in our old neighborhood? I can’t remember if they ended up doing it or not. And then when I was in college I had to write an “opinion” paper and since I didn’t really feel strongly about any particular issue, you had me write it on “Light Pollution.”… LOL

I was happy yesterday because I went to that wedding with Ashlee and I had a lot of fun. AND I started reading the Secret Life of Bees and it is way good. I stayed up really late reading it last night until Justin told me to go to sleep because the light was keeping him awake. He he (he obviously doesn’t like light pollution, either.)

They didn’t shoot it out, but they did manage to open the control panel and cut the wires. I was so happy to not have that horribly bright light shining right into my bedroom window! It lasted for several months, til Sandy City discovered the issue – and welded the panel shut so they couldn’t access it again….

I do hate light pollution!!!
