Recipe for a good day

It’s that difficult week after Daylight Savings begins. I have been dragging myself out of bed in the mornings and having difficulty adjusting to an earlier bedtime.

Add to that fatigue an early morning blizzard as I drove the kids to school. I knew that I would need to employ my happy skills because happiness wasn’t going to be automatic today.

I took a few seconds to look at the beauty of the individual branches covered in snow.

I snickered at the robin in my tree that was just as puffy as can be, trying to stay warm.

I wore a polka dot dress.

I took a picture of those deceptively delicate crocuses in the yard, covered with snow.

I checked on the seeds I planted indoors and found some sprouts!

I let drivers merge in front of me.

I sliced up gorgeous strawberries for dinner.

I ate a Girl Scout cookie or two.

The happy skills worked. It was a good day.
