Some days, I don’t feel that great. Oh, I know we all feel like that sometimes. The bed seems more comfy than usual. Limbs are heavy, eyes are always on the brink of tears. So, rather than wallow, I decided to get up and go for a walk. It’s the evening. The stars are shining, after a cloudy day. The tip of my nose no longer feels anything. But oh, what a beautiful night.
How many pebbles go in my happy jar today?
- The morning sunrise created an ethereal purple light in the sky. Pink clouds, gentle wind, bare trees with yellow leaves dangling like golden earrings in the morning sun.
- The day was beautiful. The sun vanished quickly, but the clouds rolled majestically and the wind blew in my face, cold and refreshing. The sound of the trees swaying in the breeze was something magical.
- I got the most darling text message from my husband today. The fire is still crackling away merrily.
- I was pleased with the amount of work I put in today. I hope my module tutor will take heed and bump up my grades.
- I bought Oroonoko by Aphra Behn from Amazon and it arrived today. It was a splurge, because it was a brand new book. I usually spend hours searching for a well used old copy in the charity shop. I am not thinking about the money because I am excited to read this so-called classic.
- Clean bedding.
- Fluffy socks and cinnamon rolls!
- Home made steak for dinner. Now that never usually happens. We are in for a treeeaaat *sings last word*.
What made you happy today?
Do you really have a happy jar with pebbles? I love the thought. How fun to count blessings and plunk them in there every night. I might put one beside my bed and drop pennies in. Then when it’s full I can spend it on chocolate! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

Yes I do 😀 The penny idea might be better though, because chocolate at the end sounds like a decent reward for positivity… also something else to be happy about! 🙂 Thank you!

And my husband and I, instead of being responsible to the world, are being responsible to ourselves-and going on a bike ride. 🙂

How lovely that your husband is also your cycling buddy! I have to drag my husband out on the bike and he moans about five minutes in!

Tell him if he went more often he wouldn’t moan any more. 🙂
