Today Was a Good Day

If you visited this spot yesterday, you saw that I was driving the struggle bus in a major way.  I am happy to report that today was 100% better than Tuesday!

I'm not sure what made the difference... I still had to drop Abby off at school before I headed to Greenbriar.  Maybe it was the sun shining that helped start my day in a positive mood.

Or maybe it was just me, decided that I control the weather in my head.  I could choose to be annoyed and grumpy and out of sorts, or I could decide to find the positive in the world around me.

Here are some things that made me happy today:

• I felt rested when I woke up this morning.  I made myself turn out my light before 11:00 last night, and I slept straight through to my alarm.  This doesn't always happen.
• Dan made coffee before I came down for breakfast.  He's been doing this for several months now, and I really appreciate that there's one less thing to do before I head out the door.
• I enjoyed lunch with my colleagues - lots of great conversations happen around that lunch table!
• I heard that Abby did a super job during the first performance of Guys & Dolls, Jr. this afternoon.  The first performance is always during the school day for the district's fifth graders, so I didn't get to go.
• I'm going to have a house full of people this weekend, all here because they are coming to see Abby perform.  I love having my extended family around.

And since I am going to have a house full of people, I'd better make that grocery list!
