>Are you tired of hearing about all the depressing stuff going on in the world? Frustrated there never seems to be anything positive mentioned in the nightly news? Sick & tired of all the negativity in the world around you? Want some “good”, as in “not negative” in your life? Then pop on over to This Eclectic Life for this week’s “Only the Good” posting by Shelly.
I don’t have a Fingerprint Friday thought today. I thought I’d give “Only the Good” a try this week. Over at This Eclectic Life, Shelly is trying to spread an “optimism virus” over the internet. Basically, at least once during the week, blog about something, anything that makes you happy. It does not have to be deep, religous, or philosophical – just some thing that is good, a positive, makes you smile & do the Happy dance. There is a Mr. Linky to list your “Only the Good” post for others to read. Hopefully it will make someone else happy too!
Ok, so here is what makes me happy this week. It is sooooo mundane but definitely makes me do the Happy Dance around the house.
***** Girl Scout Thin Mints *****
I can not tell you how much having GS Thin Mints in the freezer or fridge makes me happy. They are hands down my most favorite-est cookies in the world. I get that from my mom I guess. She loved Thin Mints too. Anyhoo….I buy lots of boxes from various Girl Scouts I know (gotta spread the money & love around) & stash them in the freezer. I keep 1 box in the fridge for easy access. I also limit myself to only 4 cookies a day. Otherwise, I’d scarf down the whole box in under an hour!! Seriously, I’ve been known to do that. Also, by rationing my cookies, they last longer. I then have Thin Mints available all year long. Wahoo! In fact, I just polished off the last of the 2009 stash over the Christmas holidays. Well, rationing & buying lots and lots of boxes of cookies.
So that is my Only the Good for today. Nothing spectactular, deep, or even insightful. Just what makes my heart sing & my feet dance. GS Thin Mints make me HAPPY!
