snow day

Hello readers (aka Sherry). I am thrilled to finally have a moment inspirational enough to get me blogging again on this wonderfully snowed in day. I just watched Neil Pasricha give an "awesome" speech on TedTalks (http://www.ted.com/talks/browse) on the three A's of an Awesome life. At a glance, I know it sounds a little cheesey and too much like an over contrived motivational speech, but it really did lift my spirits. The basic message is that life is good and we only have 100 years to enjoy it, so we should live each day appreciating the wonders around us. As you know, I've been in a tough spot lately. I can't quite look at my job and bills with a sunny disposition, but I think I need to get out of this "woe is me!" slump and take on the brighter side of things. So today, I'd like to just make a short list of small things I appreciated about today so far:

1. sleeping in
2. sleeping rats (which means peace and quiet and not having to pick up something that they knock over every 10 seconds)
3. eating leftovers from yesterday's dinner
4. hot tea
5. no work!!
