Despite the fact that I have felt a little gloomy cloud hanging over my lately, I am going to try to focus on the good things this week. Yes, sometimes little things happen that become like umbrellas, sheltering us from the rain, if even for just a few moments:1. Naps with my niece Katie - I love cuddling with her on the couch, watching her fall asleep, grinning sweetly, the way only baby girls can, and falling asleep, probably grinning, too.
2. Ben & Jerry's Half Baked Ice Cream - chocolate, fudge brownie, and cookie dough... enough said.
3. Zoe's Dance Recital - Yes, an hour and a half of small children dancing, tap and ballet. No, they are not great, but they sure are cute, and many made me laugh. I am very proud of my goddaughter!
4. Dinner with Mom - After the dance recital my mom and I enjoyed a quiet dinner with just adult conversation, no sippy cups, no bibs, no whining, etc. A good time for sure.
5. Almost Being Employed - I heard back from a great organization that I interviewed with and am one step closer to being employed!
6. Being Puzzled - I know it is a little thing, but I did a logic puzzle, all by myself, and got it correct the first time! Yes, all of it! I usually suck at logic stuff or get frustrated before I get very far, but I was focused and did well! Yay me!
7. Rub-down - I was so excited to find a gift certificate I got for Christmas a few years ago (that was misplaced during a move). It is for a massage and pedicure and I am going today, treating myself to some time for just me, and it's free! WOOHOO!
Well, these little things have made me smile this week. Sometimes it really is the little things. What little things have made you happy this week?
I think your #2 is going to be my #1! =D
