What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness? – A fun question from the daily writing prompt.

The 5 Material Thing that bring me happiness

1. My cameras bring me happiness. Even if I’m doing nothing but charging their batteries and cleaning the lens or working on a better travel bag for them, they are fun. But when I get time to bring that viewfinder to my eye and hit that shutter release button, I’m happy.
2. My Miata and that gearbox on a sunny day with the top down.
3. My tennis shoes and shorts. All my professional life, I dressed pretty casually. Not business casual but casual. Yeah, if I had to go out to a conference or something I’d dress the role, but at the office it was my comfort that was a priority. I guess it came from working night shift people didn’t care what you wore, as long as you showed up. When I got moved to the day side some years, I just bought that style with me. It shook things up at one of my employers because nobody ever wore shorts to work during the day apparently. I’d been doing it at night for years and suddenly there was a problem. I asked to see the dress code and there wasn’t any. Win for the kid. I continued to wear shorts when it was hot out.
4. My computers allow me to further express myself and are a great source of fun.
5. My home brings me happiness. I love taking care of it, be it the yard or structure.
