Short and sweet

It might have been Monday yesterday, but this week has already been off to a great start:

-On Sunday I ate dinner and watched the first half of the Oscars with my whole family (minus the hubs). It was delicious and really fun; plus I had access to cable, so I didn't feel totally out of the loop reading all the Oscars updates the next day.
-I have a very slim work load this week, which is a welcome relief compared to the past couple months of seemingly non-stop deadlines.
-I've recently been texting a few different friends I don't normally get to talk to very often. Some I've made plans with, others I've just exchanged words of encouragement with. It's such a nice feeling. People who say texting isn't real communication have no idea how great it is to read an unexpected positive message from someone you care about!
-I spent yesterday evening with one of my best friends eating pizza, baking cookies, drinking cocktails, and watching movies. Who doesn't love that??
-I'm babysitting a little cutie pie named Sawyer tonight, and babies make everything better.

In my last post, I said I'm trying to be more intentional about focusing on things in life that make me happy. Let's just add all of the above to that list. I'm eagerly awaiting my copy of “The Happiness Project” in the mail and looking forward to having a frank conversation with my doctor at Thursday's appointment, so hopefully all these positive vibes will continue through the week! I hope you all have a great Monday too :)
