This morning, I’ve decided to make a list of Things That Are Good.

I think you should, too, in the comments. That would be Good, too.

Things That Are Good

The fact that it’s NOT RAINING RIGHT NOW
My lovely, aubergine strapless bridesmaid dress to be in the lovely Catherine’s wedding (it fits my odd shape well! Thanks, Mom!)
A strong cup of coffee in a Christmas mug
Mandarin oranges
Murphy, my upstairs dog (not mine, but loves to run into my apartment whenever he gets the chance)
iChatting with Gradon
Giant purses that hold my lip gloss arsenal easily
Lovely stationery
My white wool winter coat
Tarragon
White holiday lights (but not the crazy cold-looking LED ones… they do nothing for me)
Podcasts that make me laugh out loud when I’m grocery shopping
My tree! I’ll take another photo once the paper stars are added!
GLEE! (both the TV show and the sensation)
Stash ‘Christmas Eve’ Tea
Sparkly charcoal polish on my toes
RED CUPS
Rosy cheeks from the cold
The lovely squish of my duvet on a sleep-in morning
The semi-swear word/exclamation “sonofabitch!” (as long as you’re not calling anyone that, and casting aspersions on their mom)
Rearranging furniture to create what feels like a brand-new room
Chocolate-covered cherries
The fact that I’ve avoided long term respiratory illness for SEVEN MONTHS
Carved wood bowls
Hats that allow you to skip styling your hair
Big Dipper Wax Works candles
The burny lip gloss that makes your lips bigger (even if it doesn’t, it smells and feels good)
Cinnamon-y baking smells
Big earrings and rings that turn a black shirt and jeans into something more chic
Freshly threaded eyebrows
You reading this list

And YOU?
