| My 2025 Happiness Icon |
Today's happiness: Freedom. Not in the red/white/blue sense. Since it appears likely that Chicago will soon be invaded by federal troops, I'm not feeling that right now.
Today it made me happy that I had the freedom to do absolutely nothing. I awoke with a wonky gut. Back in my old life, I would have dosed myself with Imodium so I could keep going. This morning, I fed the cats, ate some bread for breakfast, and went back to bed, where I stayed until 5:00 PM. I only got up to ... well, you know. Why does this make me happy? Since I no longer have a full time job, I don't have to get all my errands and laundry done on weekends. I'm glad I was able to let my body work it through. I bet I'll feel better tomorrow than I would if I'd gone the loperamide route. So I'm happy I got to take care of myself in the way I felt that was best for me – not my clients or my coworkers.
Happy August Happiness Challenge!
Each
day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy.
Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't
want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are
positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world.
