Writing While Waiting: 5 everyday things that bring you happiness

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

WordPress has a daily prompt. I decided to use these prompts to pass the time when I’m waiting in the car, doctor’s office, etc., instead of doom scrolling. While I won’t do this every day, I will do it from time to time. This is a quickly written text that will often be done entirely on the phone.  Today’s wait is: getting the daughter off the bus.

And here is today’s subject: 5 everyday things that bring you happiness

  1. My wife and kid – I know they are technically things, but nothing brings more happiness
  2. My CPAP- Seriously, it’s been a life changer for me. I know I’ll get some restful sleep, and the difference from when I didn’t have one is amazing.
  3. My books – I have been in a reading rut lately, but when I am in the mood to read again, I have a ton waiting for me.
  4. My computer – It is my primary tool for my creative endeavors
  5. My record collection – each album has a story to go with it.

What’s yours?

I'm a husband to a woman who is nerdier than I am, and a father to a near perfect child. I am one of the main authors for this website, plus I handle most of the technical aspects (web design, editing podcasts, and videos, etc.) During the day, I'm a Computer Science and African American Studies Teacher. Most of my free time I'm listening to music or podcasts and watching soccer. I love Star Wars and Star Trek equally. I'm a horrible gamer yet I game. You can reach me at nolanerdcouple@gmail.com
