Because I got tagged by bakashoujiki...
List ten things that make you happy in no particular order and then tag five friends...
1. Friendly/caring/loving touch. Being an inhibited, shy, single person makes pursuit of this variety of happiness somewhat challenging.
2. Being creative--whether writing or doing art or convincing myself to cook once in a while.
3. Dancing--international folk dancing especially.
4. Relaxing with family--being our wacky, "playing-off-each-other" selves. Despite all our angst, there are times when we laugh ourselves silly--and I love that about us.
5. Hanging out with friends.
6. Watching anime and reading manga and manhwa--and sharing my enthusiasm for them with other (interested!) people.
7. Singing, by myself or with others.
8. Reading aloud--picture books, Shakespeare, poetry, other stuff.
9. Feeling like I'm doing my job well at work:
*connecting patrons with the books they want/information they need
*helping someone become more confident around computers
*getting kids involved with books/songs during storytime
*having conversations (both lighthearted and serious) with children and teens.
10. Being at peace with myself, with others, with my surroundings--"still and cool in the mind" if I want to get all Quakerly.
And for good measure, two pilfered from bakashoujiki:
11. "Receiving comments and email." To which I'd add: And real, *personal* snail mail? Makes for a red-letter day.
12. "Clean things. I hate cleaning, but I love the result." Once I really get into the swing of cleaning, I actually often enjoy it. You wouldn't know it looking at my apartment, though! Kind of related to this: Puttering around the house gives me a surprising amount of satisfaction.
Tagging five friends? Hmmm...
::eyes friendslist::
lediz * rayemars * jobiska * fish_are_evil * sheron * cairnsy * cheeky_duckie * tuuli_chan * kay_cricketed * fourth_moon * murinae
That's if y'all feel like doing it. And any of the rest of you-uns who want to try it, consider yourselves summarily TAGGED!

sarasusa, who used to be able to count
...and who will make the necessary posts to goal_posts soon, I promise you, fourth_moon!
