I think it to myself, and may even have said it out loud, as I sat down to write tonight.
The sink was full of them, and I bemoaned having to do them at 10:15 pm when I'd rather be in bed asleep. But the internet was slow loading, so I got up and washed them quickly instead of sitting in front of the screen becoming frustrated. Lately, it feels like the '90s every time I sign in and try to get online. I wonder if Comcast has gone back to dial-up. The only good thing about it today was getting the dishes done quickly while I waited. Now I'm contending with screen freezes, another flashback to personal computing in the '90s.
There were a lot of things I loved about the '90s. Anything related to my PC is not one of them.
It's been another great day - beautiful weather (but too hot), a good day of work, the time to be able to take care of myself with a headache that wanted a nap. I'm not a good napper, but I gave in to it right away and am glad I did. A few hours after I got up, my headache disappeared. I popped over to the grocery store to get some ingredients for a recipe I wanted to try, did some cooking, and enjoyed a fabulous meal. Now I'm ready for bed again. I'm also ready for another good week. I've been grateful for this daily writing practice that enables me to re-focus my awareness around happiness, gratitude, and self-compassion.
I found a place for my new dollar store cocktail glasses, a fun and kitschy gift from my daughter for our mini-vacation last week. They fit in beautifully with my great grand-mother's depression glassware, my Czech and Slovak ceramics, and all the other treasures in my china cabinet.
A Hundred Day's of Happiness is a daily writing practice that opens a landscape of discovery into my own human experience.
