30 things that make me happy

30 things that make me happy will include

• waking up in the morning and realizing that no part of me aches or creaks
• looking out of the window and seeing the world is still asleep, that means a few more hours of peace
• seeing the sun rising in the east as promised
• cooking my breakfast
• watching a movie while I consume my breakfast
• checking office emails and realizing that I do not have a lot to do during the day
• completing my workout for the day and knowing that I get a rest day tomorrow
• browsing the web and reading positive stories
• getting a letter from the income tax people mentioning I am due for a six-digit refund
• finding that all the seeds I planted have sprouted
• getting to finish a sentence in an argument with my wife
• realizing that I narrowly missed running into my neighbor in the corridor
• finding out that the smarter kids in school ended up in mundane jobs
• checking out the look on the faces of my relations who hoped I would fail in life, when they realize that in fact I am better off than them
• realizing that the prediction that the world will end in a hundred years misses me as I am already in my fifties
• finding out that the pain I had in my back disappeared overnight
• reading the news that some corrupt government official was finally caught
• checking out the current photos of the good-looking kids from my college days and see them all balding and sagging
• realizing that there is enough money in the bank to safeguard my kid and my future
• looking up at the night sky and finding all the stars still in their place
• realizing that the smartphone would go on silent mode and finally I can get some sleep 

I know I have still not hit 30 items on this list, but for now, this looks good enough.
