1. The view out my bedroom window every morning.
2. Laughing so hard I cry. With my students.
3. Shooting the sh*t with Carolyn and Ali.
4. Everyone who came over last night for the housewarming! A house full of friends and family is the best!
5. Housewarming gifts - plants, flowers and booze. :)
Leo Tolstoy says, "If you want to be happy, be." And Robert Anthony says, "Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy." It's far too easy to focus on the things that piss us off or disappoint us every day. Negativity breeds negativity. That's why I'm dedicated to documenting at least five things that make me happy every day. Happiness is a choice we make, a way we live. Choose happiness. One day at a time.

How did it get to be the end of April already?
Man. Time is flying!
1. Getting some long overdue work done. Finally.
2. Laughing with kids today. One of the best parts of the job.
3. Rain. And snow. And that rainysnowystuff.
4. Dylan said to me today, "Are you sure this is the grade I deserve? Can't you be more critical?"
5. Snuggies in class. That's a first.
6. 5K. 53 minutes. I don't care if my time looks slow. One foot in front of the other. One step at a time.
7. And then I went for a jog. To my parents' house. For fruit and onions.
8. Upstairs. Fire. Then downstairs to wind down.
A pretty good day.
