Despite hailstorms, car trouble, the natural disaster zone that is the girls’ room, and my ongoing husbandlessness, I can end today with my wholehearted endorsement of the following happy-making activities:
- Dancing in pajamas to this song (bonus points if joined by giggling daughters)
- Sneaking a leftover pecan pie bar before breakfast
- Mailing off a little care package
- Re-reading this blog entry (bonus points if laughter is accompanied by snorts and/or tears)
- Tucking strawberry plants in for the winter
- Stumbling across this quote
- Indulging in a few minutes of “Buttered Mashed Potatoes” candle
- Catching up on a guilty pleasure
- Hosting a soup-and-baguette picnic on the living room rug
- Soaking in a good, old-fashioned bubble bath
What are some of your tried and true gloom-chasers?
Good music is definitely on the list. Anything from Jars of Clay to Children 18:3…
Coffee.
Reading up on a few good blogs…..
The list could go on. I’m just not having a brain-spazzy creative moment remembering it all. 🙂
