Simcha - Joy/Happiness
Mishenichnas Adar Marbim B'Simcha.
There are many different types and different levels of simcha. Today let's discuss a very simple pleasure. The car's odometer.
I'm not sure why but I get a certain level of joy every time my car odometer hits a new round number, 25,000, 30,000, 40,000. I'm not sure why I feel this way, but I definitely do, and I don't think I'm the only one.
I wish someone could explain it to me though.

you really are counting life's little pleasures, aren't you? :)
You like the closure of rounding the numbers off. you must like to have everything neatly organized and compartmentalized in your brain, right? Its called obsessive compulsive, lol :-)
