August Happiness Challenge -- Day 5

Today's happiness is alone time.  I didn't do a thing today that will sound interesting to anyone else: I wrote, flipped back and forth between the Cub game and old movies, and took a walk. But I've been unhappy lately -- weary over many things great and small -- and having alone time helped me feel stronger and ready to face a new week.
