Few things make me as happy as seeing something I worked hard for and taken care of still kicking.  Whatever your mind congers up, go with that.  I have had plants for years, and years, and kept them going with plenty of water and sunshine.  I’ve also been known to talk to them when nobody is looking or within ear shot.  Whatever, it works.  Today I drove my truck to work because I was real tired this morning and I was a little light on motivation.  I do this from time to time because the mere sight of my truck makes me happy.  I have had this truck now for, dare I say it, about ten years.  Seems like yesterday my Mom was talking me into the truck over a Ford Focus station wagon.  Yes, that is the truth, I have a thing for station wagons, but I digress.  I went ahead and took my Moms advice and got the truck and it was instant appreciation. I don’t know how people get on without one!  I remember the day I paid it off like it was an hour ago.  Talk about one of the all time greatest feelings in the world, knowing you fulfilled your debt and whatever it was is now yours.  Me and my truck have been around and I have zero plans on it not being with me for a long time to come.  My day went without a hitch while making a big step toward that very thing.  When I headed out to the parking lot I couldn’t help but smile at an object that has become a close friend.
