Not gonna lie, friends: having a rough go of it today. Here’s some things I’m desperately hoping will improve my—and maybe your—mood:
- My new favorite, Yes and Yes, posted last week about writing yourself a prescription for happy. What’s your prescription for suriving those rough days?
- Gah, again, I just find myself envying the heck out of Andrea. Read this sweet love story of hers. A modern romance—so lovely.
- I keep a list of things to blog, and I loved this little printable from Marta. So cute! She’s a total gem…check her out.
Also, I could use some cheering up. What’s making you smile today?

What makes me smile today is…..the fact that my boyfriend and his four kids (!) are coming over for dinner. Just keep counting down the minutes til they arrive!

Books! I am reading a good one (Lost on Planet China) and have others I’m really looking forward to just waiting to be read.

even though my blog could say “UGH THURSDAY” with some expletives added in, I am smiling about the sunshine and the beer in my fridge

That printable is awesome.
I am not having the best of days either but what helped me today was even though I was crying on the way to the gym, I decided to go anyway, and not just go home, and it really helped me get my mind off things for a short while.

Hey, friend! I’m sorry you’re having a blah day.
Love those links you shared! Very cool. Well, today one of my best girlfriends had flowers delivered to my work just to say Happy Thursday. That definitely brightened my day and put a smile on my face. Hope that doesn’t sound braggy…I just wanna send you some virtual flowers!! But really, just think about all the awesome people in your life who make all the crappy stuff seem so much less important. Hope you feel a lot better soon! <3

Definitely a book and a bath. But you know what made me smile today? Not the fact that I knocked down the iTunes gift card stand at the grocery store, but that a lady started picking them up with me and said, “This stuff happens to you too, huh?” Some people still have kind souls.

Hopefully your day has gone up lil’ lady. I hate days like this. I love the idea for a prescription for a happy day. I might just need to try to find mine. I know one thing that will be on that list though – candy. Yum, me love candy. HaHa.

I got pretty excited when 4:30 rolled around and I could go home and fall asleep on the lounge.

Well it’s not yesterday anymore but the promise of a relaxing facial & Chipotle burrito at the end of the day helped.
And today is Friday which is always a blessing, no matter what the day looks like.
Hope you have a better weekend =)
