I bought 14,000 Things to Be Happy About many years ago. When my grandmother died, it was the first time I had been so affected by death and just couldn't imagine being happy again.So, when I saw this book, I grabbed it and became charmed by it.
It lists simple things like:
- reading the newspaper
- childhood friendships
- Easter eggs
- mint
I've kept it all these years and would browse through it now and then.
This year, at TLA, I went by a booth and discovered this book:
I cracked up! It's been years since I "needed" the other book and I've survived countless other tragedies so the fact that there is a whole book of things to be miserable about is hilarious.For example:
- Performance-enhancing drugs
- Catholic guilt
- Glowing red rodent eyes
- Farmer's tans
I can't wait to use both of these books with my teen journaling kids. Because nothing is more miserable than being a teen!
