It seems like the ideal day to try an exercise I used to do with
my positive psychology class -- 10 reasons to be happy.

So here goes -- it's minus 15 Celsius here, feels like minus

25. That's cold my friends.

So here we go:

10 Reasons to be happy

1. I did a good drawing today.

2. Instead of walking I stayed inside reading and planning.
It was still a bit chilly.

3. Our brilliant red Amaryllis bloomed again. Two huge 
flowers opened up today.

4. I got a wonderful card from my friend in The Netherlands
to celebrate that we've been friends for 10 years.  We met at The
Florence Biennale, and we talk once a week.

5. I have a couple of great books to read.

6.  Our dinner was delicious.

7. We have heat and hydro.

8. I have a sweet husband who loves me.

9. I'm planning some art shows for this year, and feel so excited. 

10. It's time to go and watch our delightful TV show with our animal
family (a cat and a dog.)

Have a loving your life day!
