Lately I've been thinking a lot about what we really value in our lives - and what we aim for, and how (or if) that works out for us. Mostly without conclusion, largely to do with class and thesis, but a bit for myself.
Anyhoo, as I said - not much in the way of conclusion. But as I emerge from several days of fighting sickness-induced depression, I realised that some bizarrely simple things make me more pleased than they probably should. I made a list like that a long time ago: "Things that make me happy (more than they should)" but somewhere in the many computer disasters it's gone, sadly. This time it was just one that reminded me. I have two mugs here: identical, save that one is green and the other blue. And I really like it when I managed to do mint tea in the green mug and darker things like black tea and hot chocolate in the blue one. It doesn't always work out that way without doing dishes even more often than I already do, but when it does it makes me feel all nice. And considering that mint tea probably makes that list indpendent of the cup it is in, pretty good all around.
P.S. Yes, I know, the blog never gets out of the trivial. It does say preface right there in the title...promise big, deliver later ;)
