Here in paradise (Vancouver) all is not is well. The media is filled daily with tales of the imminent swine flu, massive budget deficits, hated HST, traffic congestion, and all round economic chaos. I am, if anything a realist and staunchly refuse to give way to despair! People have a great capacity for personal happiness I am no different, so I try and remind myself (daily) of reasons to be cheerful. I thought I’d share 10 of them with you.
So here goes:
1. My two Scottie Dogs
2. My good friends who like the wonders of the world are small in number but always there
3. My four sons, who thankfully screw up less frequently than I did 😳
4. The snow-capped Rockies, which unlike me look good all the time 🙂
5. My fishing rods, whose expense far outweighs my skill
6. The Vancouver Canucks, who never fail to disappoint me, but remind me of the difference between fantasy and reality
7. My neighbours, whose goodwill and sincerity inspire me to be a better human being
8. A blizzard on a hot day, which always reminds me of the wonders of ice cream, and how much I miss Joe’s back in Swansea
9. The Welsh Rugby Team, need I say more, boys. and last but not least
10. ˜Her Indoors , (as Arthur Daley used to say); despite the tangential thinking, the Halibut wrapped in prosciutto makes everything worthwhile
That’s it. Now what are yours 😉
