Itemizing The Silver Linings

I'm in a funk this week. I'm moody, I'm covered in horsefly bites, and I just want to curl up in front of the TV/indulge in retail therapy. To help put a smile on my face and turn this crab-fest around, I've been listing the things that are making me happy this week.
  • Coffee (first and foremost)
  • My comfy bed
  • My new orange scarf
  • Naps
  • Clean dishes
  • Olives
  • Gift baskets at work
  • Ridiculous Twitter conversations
  • Remembering the campfire steak and cheesy potatoes from last weekend
  • The plums and pineapple I got for a steal this week
  • "January Wedding" by The Avett Brothers
  • "40 Day Dream" by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
  • The squinty face my cat makes when it's sunny outside
  • Pop-Tarts
  • The fresh stack of books to read waiting for me at home
  • All the sundresses I plan to wear this weekend
  • My trip to Wisconsin next weekend
  • My friends' gallery of Comic Book Weddings on their wedding website
  • Knowing the State Fair (and the livestock/poultry barns and all the delicious food) is just a month away
  • Update: How could I forget? Classical guitar covers of "Here Comes the Sun" on YouTube are immensely cheering.
What do you find cheering when you're having a bad few days?

  3. I am also thankful for coffee and my cats. Otherwise, only sleep and exercise help. I get especially crabby when I feel like life is infringing on my exercise plans. Grrrrr.
