happy things

Back in high school, my best friend Carmen used to give me the 14,000 Things to Be Happy About daily calendars because I was constantly making myself sad. I had a hard time going through adolescence with just my dad around so I always complained and made my life seem even more depressing than it was.
I haven’t entirely grown out of that phase. 😛

Sometimes I’ll catch myself making a bigger deal out of something than it deserves (a good example would be wedding-related stuff) so I force myself think happy thoughts. Tonight would be such a time…

5 Happy Thoughts
1. coffee sprinkled with chocolate
2. playing hooky from work (I am *so* tempted to call-in-sick at least once a week)
3. warm chocolate chip cookies
4. Sharpie pens in the colors of the rainbow
5. the smell of barbecue

I’ll get around to posting Harry Potter thoughts… Someday. 🙂
Hope everyone has a great week!

  1. Bah, I’m the same way! I wallow in my misery and, as you know, it’s not healthy.
    ITA with you about work. I’m not sure what it is, but I’ve been bad about coming in on time lately….
    I hope this helped you out a bit, Kel. There are always a few things that make up for the bad stuff, right?

  2. Sending you some positive thoughts! I wish I could send you some warm cookies though.

  3. I’m the same way, Kel. I get all mopey and what I call “in a blue funk” sometimes. Then it goes away and I’m better 🙂 Hope you are too!
