Grateful Happy Things Post

It's been a long time since a Happy Things post, and I've felt it coming on for a while. But today, I felt more like writing more about how certain happy things come out of stuff for which I'm grateful. Thus the odd post title. Things for which I'm grateful that also make me happy:

1. That Mom taught me how to make a cashier's job easier when at the store for scanning and packing.

2. In that vein, that Mom taught me the best way TO pack groceries considering many cashiers kinda suck at it, and I find myself rearranging constantly. (by the way, what is with some of them completely ignoring your reusable bags until you can pack them?)

3. A relationship in which both of us strive to remain understanding and connected.

4. The ability to enjoy life to the fullest despite the circumstances.

5. That though life has downs, there are also ups.

6. That my sister thinks much like I do and loves me.

7. That I had a family who reveled in the joy of little things... therefore teaching me how to do the same.

8. Living in a warm climate... even when it's blistering.

Ergh - grocery packers are one of my pet peeves! There's a reason I put all my produce, or frozen foods, or breads together on the belt, people! And it's not because I'm just OCD! Some days, I actually prefer to pack it myself. :)

I'm glad you have so much to be grateful and happy for!

hahaha. You're right SG. Me too. And I put like sized things together too so that they will go easier. This lady actually put a package of turkey bacon at the bottom with some chips and then tried to balance eggs and some frozen food boxes on top. argh

The cashiers here cannot pack the reusable bags.

Also, when I bring the reusable bags, I've been asked, MORE than once, "do you want me to USE these?" I always want to reply "no, I just brought them to show you, aren't they pretty?"
