How to Be Happy on a Bad Day



Today was not a good day. You got some bad, not unexpected, news and your kid was Satan's minion sent to Earth to drive you batty. But in the interest of this blog mission, here were ten good things about this day:

1. Chex mix is delicious.
2. Your mom got your son a really cool toy that he's going to go nuts over.
3. You played Mah Jong. You lost, but that's not the point.
4. A friend invited your kid to semi-private pool lessons, which is awesome because you really want your kid to learn how to swim.
5. Your husband is nice. You like him a lot. Which is kind a big deal after 12 years.
6. You had a great business idea.
7. You cleaned your house very thoroughly. A clean house makes you feel good and in control.
8. Your hair looks cute.
9. Music channels on TV. Very good idea. Especially the 80s channel.
10. Lou Reed's Sweet Jane with the windows rolled down.
