After a weekend of perfect summer weather (sorry, Colorado friends!), there is some rain forecasted this week. While I’m not super excited about that, I’d much rather the rain come when I have to go to work than when I want to be at the pool/lake/not work.
So, I’m choosing to focus on the positives, and what better way to do that than with this cheery yellow? Honestly, is there any happier color than a bright, sunny yellow? Wearing it reminds me of my Clinique Happy days in middle school. I used to say I could not NOT be happy while wearing that perfume. And then one day I woke up and my body chemistry had changed, and I’ve not liked it since. I’m still a little sad about it.
In the spirit of chasing away the Monday morning/rainy day/whatever-the-reason blues, I thought it would be fun to do as Julie Andrews taught us (you know, raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens) and list a few things that always make us happy – no matter the circumstances. I’ve found that thinking about happy things genuinely does improve my mood, so why not spend a few moments right now, doing just that? I’ll start:
- My “special occasion” perfume, Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme Intense – even if it’s not a special occasion
- Fancy cupcakes
- A margarita after a day in the sun
- Clean sheets (even better if I didn’t have to put them on)
- A full Hulu queue of my favorite shows
- Psalm 37
Those are a few of mine – what about you? I can’t wait to hear your favorite things!
