I spent part of yesterday’s idle moments worrying about what to write… And then most of today’s idle moments still concerned that I didn’t have a subject that sparked any great enthusiasm or flicker of promise that “this one is the best post yet!”. And then, in the afternoon, I received a call from my husband who said that we’d broke a record: Never before did Winnipeg ever hit +47 with the humidity. When you walk outside from a luxuriously air-conditioned office, the heat knocks you like a punch in the face, and it feels like the air doesn’t have enough oxygen for your lungs. I therefore blame the weather for quashing my creativity, and drying up the ink in my pen.
Nonetheless, in times when I would rather complain, I think of things that I’m grateful for:
- a wonderful husband
- a caring family
- kind friends
- the chance to be the godmother of a wonderful godson
- books to read
- recipes to try
- projects that I love doing
- summer dresses
- refreshing showers
- 6 in the morning jogs
- flowering plants and creeping vines…
Leo Babauta over at Zen Habits writes wonderfully, and a recent post highlights gratitude. In case it’s a bad day, weather-related or otherwise, Life Hacker gives a few ideas on how to Get Happy in 60 minutes. Do you have things you are especially grateful for?
