Today was a little crazy for me: I woke up early and didn’t stop moving from 8a.m. until 3p.m. and let me tell you, I was exhausted. However, rather than dwell on how many things I have to cross off my To Do List and how I think my legs might snap from a combo of running around like a madwoman & pilates, I decided to focus on the little things in my day today that made me smile.
I went to Trader Joe’s in Foggy Bottom and for those who follow this blog, you’ll already know that I have a not-so-secret huge crush on Trader Joe’s. Well, our relationship is now on the next level. While being checked out at the register, I chit chatted with the cashier and said I’m a student in D.C. He asked me what I wanted to do after college & I responded, “Make money & have fun!” Laughing, he gave me a roll of stickers. I may be a senior in college but my inner first grader was elated over these stickers. Very patriotic & so typical D.C.!
After a week of monsoon-like rain, today was positively beautiful weather! I opted to walk the 15 minutes to my apartment rather than catch a shuttle and I’m glad I did. I walked by freshly mown grass and there really is no greater smell on a warm day than that. What’re the little things in life that make you smile?
I LOVE Trader Joes! I’ve been a vegan for about two months and it’s the easiest place to get food for me. My Lilly stickers in my planner always make me happy! XO
Props for being able to go vegan! I can’t, I love chicken & red meat too much but good for you! I’m looking at my Lilly planner now, so much to get done this week.
