Just Good Things: January 16, 2026

Last night, I went out to dinner with a friend. In addition to my yummy omelet, I had an apple cinnamon mocktail. It was delicious! Just the right amount of warming spice with some pleasant fizz. I'm glad that fancy mocktails are a thing. 

Here's what else made me smile this week:

• The kiddo remembered we needed to return her school library books (when I had forgotten)
• Seasonal window clings
• Meandering friend chats
• Mythbusters
• An utterly charming romance story
• Kiddo's excitement to do a 100-piece puzzle with me
• Finished providing edits on a book manuscript I was asked to review (I really hope it finds a publisher!)
• Finally worked on a project I've been putting off and made HUGE progress
• Reading alone on the couch when I was up way too early
