Using smile therapy today

My morning didn’t start well, when I awoke at 5:20am. It’s Monday, so I didn’t expect greatness. In an effort to jump out of this foul mood, I thought I’d incorporate Cin‘s Monday Morning Love List into this entry:

LOVE: The way my duvet feels against my cold skin when I pull my feet back into the warmth

LOVE: The smile that I’m always greeted with at work in the morning (Thanks Shauna!)

LOVE: It when my brother calls me up on the spur of the moment to come out for a visit, even when I can’t make it

NOT SO MUCH: Noticing that my favourite coffee shop always runs out of my favourite cookie on Monday mornings

LOVE: The smell of the misty fog and how it feels as it brushes my face as I walk to work in the morning

LOVE: That although I’m going on vacation Christmas Day, that I’ll still have time to spend with my family before I leave that evening. (Who needs a ton of turkey digesting on a long flight, anyhow, right?)

LOVE: All the awesome friends and family that visit this blog regularily and make a quick mention of the fact in the comments — It’s great to have you here!

What’s on your Monday Love List?

    Sounds like you guys have the fog problem too? Well, at least you love the fog–here it is a pain to drive through. My Monday list is simple: Love—-coffee first thing in the monring then hitting the sleep button on my alarm clock to pick up where I left off in my dream. But only the coffee part happens as I somehow get up to go to work. After that the love thing dies off to “not so loved” things to do.

    Happy Monday T!

    Love: Going to work on Monday. And every day.
    Love: Seeing Aimee and Lani when I get there.
    Not so much: Leaving Sunny behind when I got to spend three days with her. She is such a fun and loving dog…

    Jen: Cool list! Have you got a firm date for the housecleaning? :)

    Jay, taking Mondays off? Brat! Heheh…

  • Jay says:

    Love: The cool fog, Love: Walking down Robson with the fall leaves blowing around, Love: Taking Mondays off. Sorry yours hasn’t been the best.

  • Jen says:

    Love: waking up and realizing it’s one day closer to my roommate leaving.

    Love: hot coffee when it’s cold and foggy

    Love: looking over the misty cityscape on my way into the office

    Love: no dress code and wearing cozy sweats to work, not doing my hair or putting on makeup when I don’t feel like it.

    Hey T,

    I always found that fog added a certain sense of mystery to your surroundings. The whole city can be seen in a different light, you focus your vision more and often see things you haven’t seen before.

    LOVE: Being on ‘hiatus’ and waking up late on most days.

    LOVE: Being able to walk downstairs and grabbing a free Chai and ham and cheese croissant.

    Not So Much: Catastrophic hard drive failures.

    Not So Much: Waking at 4:00 am to start baking at 5:00 am so I can get a free Chai and ham and cheese croissant.

    Enjoy your day!
