Just Good Things: January 31, 2025

Yesterday, our kiddo demanded to be driven to school if it was raining in the morning. It was not raining this morning - but the skies were gray and the ground wet with overnight drizzle. She was bummed when I said we would be walking. Then we went outside. Suddenly, her face changed and she realized she could leap over the puddles. Hand in hand, we leapt over puddles all the way to school. It was a delightful way to start the day.

Here's what else made me happy:

• Scrambled to put together an exhibit quickly and ended up  loving the results
• Tried some new recipes
• Venting with my colleagues about.... things
• Nibbling on Christmas chocolate
• Taking the kiddo to my university's basketball game
• Figured out how to update my retirement withholdings
• Playing a silly game on my phone while drinking coffee
• Booking travel for an upcoming conference
• Colorful flowers on our dining room table
