Happy Feet

This month, Jan and Jewish Mother Extraordinaire, from Creative Instigation has been focusing on little things that make one happy. Last week, she mentioned Super Socks. 

Lately, I've been obsessed on a colorful sock kick. Maybe it's a middle age crisis thing. Maybe it comes from years of sock repression and being forced to wear dark green knee socks or white ankle socks. Maybe it was sock envy because the girlies could express their personality through socks even when they wore their school uniform. Whatever. Colorful socks make me happy.

Top Row, left to right: Black Cat Halloween (no surprise), Hokusai - The Wave, Michelangelo - The David, Monet - Houses of Parliament at Night, Munch - The Scream, Christmas Polar Bears (there were no Christmas black cats)

Middle: Steinlein - Le Chat Noir (of course), Botticelli - The Birth of Venus, Fox =^,.^=, van Gogh - Starry Night, de Saint-Exupéry - Let Petit Prince (one of my favorite stories. I've read it in French, English, and German),

Bottom Row: Flying Squirrels, Flying Monkeys from The Wizard of Oz, Bob Ross and Happy Clouds (there were happy trees, but blue is my color), Burch - Primitive Cats, Moon Phase, Constellations, Gumby and Pokey (I had a Gumby as a kid. A green rubber figure with wire in the body so you could twist and pose him. I twisted that thing so much the wire poked through the rubber. I wanted a Pokey, but never got one. Until now.) And if you need to borrow a pair of socks, just let me know.

So what little thing(s) make you happy?
