Today I woke up in a really ungrateful mood. It wasn't awful (I've felt worse), but it was significant enough to get me off to a slow start.
Somehow, like all days, the hours passed, and the morning turned to lunch time turned to afternoon.
By the time the sun was high in the sky, I felt better. After all, it was seventy two degree outside in Minneapolis- that should lift any mood.
When I drove up after work Kate was just returning from a walk. She smiled at me, and informed me that we had forgotten crushed tomatoes for our dinner recipe, but all was well- I had a can in the corner of our pantry.
The rest of the evening, we spent cooking the most delicious meal. It was fantastic, and then Becky and Katie (who will kill me for posting this picture) arrived. Even better. We laughed really hard, and my heart was full of happiness.
From ungrateful to joyful thanks to a good meal, sun, and lovely friends.
Reminds me: happiness is as much a choice as many other things. I am a half glass full kind of person, it's time to get with it!
