Happiness is finding a pencil.
Pizza with sausage.
Telling the time.
Happiness is learning to whistle.
Tying your shoe for the very first time.
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band.
And happiness is walking hand in hand.
And happiness is walking hand in hand.
Music and lyrics by Clark Gesner
I assume that this song doesn't run through most people's heads when they hear the words happiness is, but most people weren't in the chorus for the musical You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. It may have been a long time ago, but I was, so when I hear those words, the tune pops into my head.
Anyway, this week happiness for Tommy and Sammie was.....
Getting gelato from the gelato truck that goes through our neighborhood. They claim they have never gotten ice cream from the ice cream truck, but I can't believe that. I know they never did at our house, but I am pretty sure we have gotten ice cream from Skippy when they were at my mom's house. Even if they had, they had no idea what they had to do to get the guy to stop. I tried to tell Sam she had to stand at the corner and jump and wave him down, but she didn't fall for that. They figured out if they just stand at the end of the driveway he will stop.
For me this week, happiness is......
Seeing my car in my driveway! It was a couple of weeks passed the so called required delivery date, but it finally arrived. Of course that meant that we had to spend most of the morning yesterday in offices filling out paperwork, and then it had to go for an inspection, but now it is in my driveway! It felt so good to drive it! We shipped it in June and then drove Mike's little car for a while and have been borrowing a car since we have been here, so it has been a long time since I have been behind the wheel. It felt soooooo good to drive it! It is one more step to normalcy. Our household goods are due here in about 2 weeks. Hopefully they don't take any detours and make it here on time!
