HUMOR: 25 Reasons To Smile

By D.S. Mitchell

Back At the Computer

I am back at the computer making my second post to my Calamity Politics blog, today.  Before I started this blog, I worried that I wouldn’t have enough to scream about, but I’m finding that I could probably do half a dozen posts a day related to the misinformation flooding the ether.  But I thought, before I start my rant on the collapse of Western Civilization I should deliver something positive and uplifting.

So, dear hearts here are twenty-five things to make you smile:

1. Touching toes in the sand
2. Sunsets over water
3. Wraparound sunglasses
4. The Science channel
5. Kite flying contests
6. The Muppets
7. Astronauts
8. Blowing the wrapper off the straw
9. Winning at Monopoly
10. A dog’s cold nose on your hand
11. Barhopping
12. Old jeans that fit just right
13. Your lover’s voice
14. The clatter of skis being loaded
15. The rumble of a train as it passes
16. Walking in the rain
17. The imagination of a six year old
18. Margaritas at midnight
19. Finishing the Sunday crossword without cheating
20. A morning walk
21. The smell of a new car
22. Roller skating
23. Your First grade teacher
24. A sexy book
25. Daddy’s smile

I know this Saturday distraction did little to take your mind off the continuing implosion of the Republican Party. My Lord, a large share of these folks sound totally crazy, out-and-out bigots, or radicalized MAGA’s. These people seized the capitol. They were incited for months by Donald Trump in his attempt to overturn an election he knew he had lost.  We watched it on television.  Convict the traitorous SOB. Sorry. I wanted to forget politics for a few minutes.
