find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year

• Chatting with a friend at the indoor soccer game.
• The fact that it was an indoor soccer game, so I wasn’t sitting out in the cold drizzle.

• Got all the errands run.
• Watching the boys have fun racing cars they built.

More lost days.

With a fever running anywhere from 100 to 102 for the past four days, I really haven’t been happy about much. Grateful for Tylenol and antibiotics kicking in, but not happy. Grateful that I was able to pull it together enough to see my son’s class play, but still not happy. When my father-in-law died last year, it was important to find things to be at least less-sad about, but when I’m this sick (has only happened three times in about 15 years), I reserve the right not to be happy about anything.

Ok, I’m done whining now, I promise.

Well, these days are gone. I haven’t been able to keep up daily, and my plans for updating on the weekend got derailed. I’m sure there was something for each of these days, though.

• My work being easier than I expected.
• Cookies.

• The little one is good at soccer.
• The Puppy Bowl.

• A solo trip to Target.
• Talking with other teacher moms at a birthday party.

• An entire school day.
• Fresh bread for dinner.

• A school day (delayed, but a school day that counts!)
• The chance to drive the children to school this morning
• A snuggly story on the couch
