It’s hard to not feel like the world is completely upside down and bat-shit crazy. Because it kind of is.
Like most of us, I’ve spend a lot of time worrying about the world that we live in. Especially when tragedy and terror hit so close to home. Obviously, Boston and Texas have been on our minds a lot. But there are so many things that have happened this week that aren’t “breaking” news stories on every news source or channel.
It’s been a rough week.
I want to fill up my little space here with some goodness, light and happy. I want to make you laugh or smile. At the very least, I want to give everyone a giant, squishy hug. (And you know that I could. I’m a professional hugger, I GOTCHU.)
So, because you love to humor me, here are some of the things that have made this week a little lighter and more beautiful:
Paisley:
This dog. THIS DOG will warm the cockles of your heart. Yes, I totally just said cockles. I might even do it again if you’re good.
Beautiful Scenery:
One of my favorite pastimes is finding beauty in the world around us. I was walking the (cockle warming) puppy dog earlier this week when I was wowed by this sunset. I keep going to back to look at this picture because it makes me happy, ok?
This picture of my kid:
She got to get her hair done for the very first time last weekend for her birthday. As you can see by the look on her face, she is not exactly pleased by the moment I chose to take a picture. I’m trying not to laugh just looking at this. She’s hilarious. Often.
Mike Wazowski
I don’t care what anybody says, a coffee mug can brighten your mood. I highly (HIGHLY) recommend a coffee date with Mike.
Cockle warmer!
You know you were needing another picture of the puppy. Outside, napping(?) during spring break a few weeks ago.
You Drive!!!
So this kid is hilarious. I will be forever grateful to SueBob for posting this yesterday when we all needed it the most. WORRY ABOUT YOSELF!!
Love
Go love on some people today. And this weekend. Basically, love all the people all the days. Just do it.
Cockels!
I too, need to focus on the positive. All the negative is bringing me down, and I find myself being more that way. Not good, not good at all.
Thanks for this post, and don’t forget to “worry about yourself” sometimes 🙂
I…needed some happy. It was a very heavy week and my heart was so sad. Hopefully we both can see a lot more light this week!
