Sleeping. And What Makes Us Happy.

Well, I quit my job 2 weeks ago. I struggled a couple of days ago with whether or not to get up or sleep in. Now, I just simply cannot sleep in. No sir. Cannot do it. It is Sunday. This morning I awoke at 5:30 a.m. Before sunrise, so I do not have the sun to blame. That's not normal. I am an early riser. But this is ridiculous. I am only 39 years old. Not 89. Nevertheless, Bridgette my dog is thrilled. The earlier we can get to the park, the better. Lucky for me, the coffee and pastry shop in Central Park right near Columbus Circle is open early, even on the weekends. I still get to have my coffee and my magical morning moment. I love it. It is truly the simple things. . .

I heard someone talking the other day about what makes us happy. The last thing you bought, did it make you happy? When you got it, were you happy? I had a ridiculous experience last week thinking the perfect pair of headphones were going to make me happy. I had the pair of headphones that come with the iPhone. But they were not perfect for working out. I needed something more. Something better. Or so I thought. So, I went in search of fancier headphones and bought them. I tried them out at the gym, but they did not sound as good nor did they stay on my ears as great. So I returned them. I bought another pair at another store when I was buying another product and tried those. They were fine for working out. They stayed on my head better than the first ones I had. Unfortunately, I forgot to check in the store about a microphone. They did not have the microphone to talk into while on the phone. I loved that feature about my original headphones.

So yes, I returned this pair as well. I wound up using the original headphones that came with the phone. They work best. I am perfectly content with these headphones. If I looked long and hard enough and spent enough money (which I am short on right now), I suppose I could have found headphones that would have sounded better, were tighter on my ears and had a microphone (which I already had). But would they make me happy? I don't think so.

A little more sleep might make me happy!

Have a lovely day. . .
