Things that make me happy
I spent the day in Stockton yesterday to celebrate my Grandfather's birthday.
When I got home last night, I reflected on some of the things that made me happy throughout the day:
My Grandpa. He turned 88 yesterday! He's still as youthful and happy as ever. My best memories of growing up with my Grandpa was that he always teased me, liked to make jokes, and was always smiling. I told my Grandpa that this must be his extra-lucky year. In the Chinese culture the number "8" is a lucky number. 88 must be extra lucky!
Donuts. We stopped by the Safeway bakery on the way to my grandparent's house yesterday. My mom was going to pick up a birthday cake, but then we passed by the donut counter. My Mom and Grandfather share the same love of custard-filled donuts. We picked up a dozen (assorted) donuts, and brought them to my Grandparent's house. We stuck a candle in his "Birthday Donut" and sang Happy Birthday. I think it made him very happy.
iRockin' in my car. I really love listening to my iPod in the car. It Rocks. Literally.
Parking. There's nothing like being out all day, then coming home to find the parking spot in front of your house still empty, and waiting for you. :)
