I don’t know where you live, but where I am the sky was AMAZING today!

Powder blue with cotton ball shaped clouds and a slight breeze; the temperature was warm, but the breeze helped with that.

A perfect day to be outside.

So that’s what I did.

And what is it about time under the vast sky and radiant sun that lifts the spirits? I can’t explain it, but I know it’s true.

My husband and I ate lunch outside and then watched airplanes land and take off at the downtown airport; most of the planes there are small and it’s fun to see. We stood by the metal fence and watched for a long time and talked. I am deeply grateful for my husband, he’s my best friend and has listened to me chatter for nearly thirty-two years. We talked of everything and nothing; it was cathartic for my soul. Then we went for ice cream; we sat on a bench and shared a chocolate, peanut butter treat.

I needed some happiness therapy today and I’m so glad he was here to spend time with me and I’m also grateful for a sunny day.

Did you do something that makes you happy today?

I think doing something that makes you happy, when you don’t feel like it, is a form of discipline I need more of.

It definitely helped today.

Grateful.
