Except when you realize that you just spent $40 to fill it and will likely have to spend even more when the tank needs filling again a week from now.
What, at the same time?
Warm dry socks.
Awww, that’s sweet.
And then there is the Ghengis version:
A sort of alpha and omega of happiness, as it were.
I would love to have only spent $40. But I only have to fill it once a month, so it’s still great to have it out of the way for a month.
What, no GTA IV players with Happiness is… …land ?
Other than that I totally agree with OP; barely awake, checking the alarm clock and seeing it will ring in 5 hours - nice. (5 minutes, not so much)
Original by Christina Rosenvinge, translation by yours truly:
El día que yo fui feliz
nunca pensé que fuera así
ni una maldita florecita
ni arco iris sobre mí.
The day when I was happy,
I never expected it to be like that,
not a flower in sight
or a rainbow over my head.
Happiness is being able to recognize a perfect moment before it’s gone.
Happiness is now.
Sleeping in on a sunshiney Sunday, and then whiling away the entire morning devouring a good book in bed with The Boy and two cats snuggled by my side.
A long-simmered stew with a big hunk of crusty bread on a cold winter’s day.
Wiggling my bare toes in the new spring grass on the first warmish day of the year.
Finding the perfect dress. On sale. For under $30. And the last one just happens to be my size.
Sitting infront of an open window on a gorgeous spring day and reading a good book.
That first bite of a piping hot pie fresh out of the oven.
Sun-warmed strawberries, blueberries and blackberries at the pick-your-own orchard.
Finding a perfect skirt at the resale store for dirt-cheap, with the original tags still on.
Cuddling in bed with the boyfriend.
