Day 21: Fine, Be That Way!

I gotta be honest. Happiness is in short supply these days. I'm not miserable, mind you, I'm just ... well ... fine. It's hard to blog about fine. Fine isn't exciting. Fine isn't surprising. Fine isn't insightful or moving or meaningful. It's, you know, FINE.

Though now that I think about it, I ought to be grateful for fine. Because a year ago? I was NOT FINE. I was miserable. Pretty much every day. I was sad and exhausted and depressed. My marriage was over, but no one could quite admit it (except, I'll bet, our marriage counselor, who was the least surprised person on earth when we separated). Work was overwhelming and stressful. I wasn't giving 100% to the kids, in fact, I barely even remember Boo's second birthday except that the ex and I had a particularly awful fight the night before. Last Christmas is a complete blur. Anyway. Fine isn't so bad now that I remember what it was like to be definitively NOT FINE.

Moving on ... since we're a bit lacking in moments of happiness right now, today we're going to focus instead on a few things that make me happy.

1. LOVE THIS!
I need to keep this at my desk and hand them out liberally. Not that I am a paragon of fashion or anything, but I work at a place where anything other than shorts/jeans with a t-shirt makes people wonder if you're interviewing.

2. Likewise this one. I could order these in bulk. Which might get me fired, but it would be so worth it!

3. Clarisonic Mia: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P245414&cm_mmc=us_search-_-GoogleBase-_-P245414-_-1201904&_requestid=42976&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=1201904

At my dentist's insistance, I bought a Sonicare toothbrush earlier this year. I was amazed at how much better my teeth looked and felt after just one use. The Clarisonic does the exact same thing for your face.
