Five things that made me happy today:

1. The trees are still really lovely. And . . .

2. Today was sunny and bright, so they were good for the eyes.

3. A little bit more time setting up by bullet journal for 2022. I like a paper calendar, and writing in it with ink, and all the mistakes that get x’ed out or covered with correction tape. It’s no wonder I like collage. I’m crazy about handling paper.

4. A fast trip to Aldi while I waited for a prescription. I haven’t been there in a while. Not since I read about the Island of Shame. Today I had to laugh. I bought some kitchen towels for the Soto family. Don’t tell. It’s for Christmas.

5. And I got a lovely poinsettia at Whole Foods today. I usually buy from the church choir but I must have slept in the weeks they were taking orders. This speckled one is called Jingle Bells and I try to find one every year. I bought one the first year they were available at the Baltimore Botanical Garden.

You? I’d love to hear what made you happy today.

Keep going.
