Yesterday, I dedicated my day to positive thoughts--to giving thanks for those things that literally brought a smile to my face. Here's a sampling of what made me smile:
- sunshine (I know. It sounds like a John Denver song. Call me sappy, but sunshine did make me smile, yesterday);
- bright orange, crimson red and butterscotch gold leaves adorning trees;
- fresh flowers on my desk (pictured above);
- listening to Tabitha (beloved resident tabby cat) mega-purring;
- my dinnertime dessert of dark chocolate Hershey's Kisses;
- hearing encouraging words from others;
- the kindness of strangers;
- yoga class (every single minute of it!);
- a mug of hot mint tea (post yoga class);
- writing by candlelight;
- munching popcorn while perusing email; and
- taking a dedicated moment to reflect upon the fact that each day is a gift.
