Happy, my wife as puppy, and savory commercials

by Jeff Rosenberg

Lately my moments of being happy have been rare. Nothing wrong — just stress, exhaustion, gutters that need repair, etc. conspiring to make me feel not unhappy, but not happy.

Until this past weekend. Everything seemed to align for a weekend of happy. Business, while very difficult, felt at a proper spot, positioned well for going forward. My 16-year-old daughter gave me $60, without being asked, to help pay for new cleats and clothes for soccer. And, when she got real mad at me about curfew Saturday night, she did it like an adult.

My 16-year-old son was scheduling his first lacrosse recruiting trip for college.

And my 22-year-old continues to show that, while it is very, very hard to get started in life after college, he is not shying away from the challenge — not at all.

It all conspired to make me happy for nearly an entire weekend.

My wife is becoming like a puppy. And that’s a compliment.

I am finding that, the more stress I am under, the more I just want to be around her because it makes me feel better. You know like a puppy.

(Unfortunately, she is out of the country for 10 days.)

I TiVo all my good shows. More and more I’m finding that I don’t zip past the commercials because doing so makes the show-watching experience go by too fast. Last week, watching Friday Night Lights, I let the commercials run so that I could savor the experience of watching a great show.
