People Who Make Me Happy

Recently, I have been getting irritated a lot, mostly at the behavior of other human beings. It’s really not a very hard thing to do. But instead of dwelling on that, I’d rather focus on those who elicit the opposite effect. And so, thank you:

• People who work to advance science and engineering, to the benefit of everyone
• People who seek to add a bit of whimsy to the world, while also adding value
• People who practice or study (modern, Western, non-alternative) medicine, even though it can be extremely challenging and underappreciated
• People who fight for equal rights
• People who make jokes about topics I can appreciate
• People who put up with me on a regular basis, particularly those with a knack for making baked goods
