Today I was in a foul mood. Just not happy. No real reason, except the petty life stuff that always seems to creep into my life…the hormonal imbalances that intensify on 95 degree plus days, and the general crappiness of returning from a vacation I actually wanted to stay at. So, me not so happy. What turned it around? The following (courtesy of The Lincoln Square Farmers Market):
Fresh blueberries that cost $3 / pint!!!!!!! (take that, icky Jewel fruit!)
a bunch of sunflowers that just make me happy
-giving my parking stub that had 45 minutes left on it (I forgot how little the farmers market is, and how little my fridge is!) to complete strangers, who, it turns out, was celebrating a birthday and told me this was a great gift. (yes, me karma es good!)
but the best was finding a hot hot hot Ollie laying on the floor in front of a fan:
How can you be moody with that face?!
So long story short, when life gets moody, it’s best to remember the little things. We may never have enough money, be the skinniest, or the most successful, but as long as their is still fresh blueberries, sunflowers, and pets to make us laugh, life is a-ok.
