Thursday always seems to be the day that I take a breath and know that the week is almost over... once I make it to Thursday the weekend no longer seems so far away. It's one of those little things that seems to make a person feel better, and maybe it's only me... most people will only feel that relief when it is officially Friday, but I find that I'm really not too hard to please.
Here is a list of the other little things that make a world of difference and gets me through each day.
- The first day, after a long winter, that you leave work and you can still see the sun in the sky and it's just warm enough to roll the windows down on the drive home to breathe the amazing fresh air... (counting on no yucky trucks in front of you polluting your wonderful air)
- The first evening that it's warm enough to keep your bedroom windows open... listening to the night sounds and feeling the breeze on your face as you fall asleep.
- My sweet girl leaning toward me to give me kisses over and over again as I read her a bedtime story. (My evening last night... got a kiss with each new page of the book I read... I went to sleep hardly feeling the weight of what had been a horrible day... Mommy's aren't the only ones with magical kisses!)
- A buy 1 get 1 sale for something that you actually went to the store for.
- A smoothie on a cloudy day = sunshine in a cup!
- Random acts of kindness that are acknowledged (when you slow your car down to let someone turn into your lane... and they wave to thank you, or the other way around. Thanking someone for their kindness makes me feel good... and when someone thanks me for my kindness it makes me want to do more... PAY IT FORWARD PEOPLE!) :)
- Getting something other than bills or junk in the mail when you least expect it! -- Like pretty magnets with hummingbirds from my Meme for Valentines Day <3
- laughing with friends...
It's the little things that matter the most sometimes...

Aw, your Meme is the best!
Great list. :)
Ooh, I'm gonna have to be on the lookout for Mirror Shine - otherwise I'm going to want to get my nails done every other week and my wallet has some serious objections to that!
I hope you feel better ASAP! It's awful being sick, especially with spring right around the corner.
If you get a chance, stop by my blog and enter the CSN giveaway! I bet you could find some cute stuff for you or for Audrey with the gift certificate! :)
I am really hogging your note section! I wanted to reply to your outdoorsy fun comment - I have such fond memories of playing with all of the kids that lived in the condos around us. Sardines, hide & seek, kickball... so much fun.
