“Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house, and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”

Highlight of my day, obviously.

Surprise, surprise! I got a phone call today at 2:15.

It was my co-worker asking me where I was.

Apparently I was already 15 minutes late.

So I hauled my buns to work. It was a mess.

I almost fell asleep while cutting strawberries.

Ended up eating a life supply of yogurt samples,

just to satisfy my screaming stomach.

(Literally. I think it scared a small child.)

And received a present from the acne man,

right on my forehead under my super cute work hat.

Wonderful. Not only are my feet pounding,

but I'm almost positive my stomach will never forgive me

for feeding it all that fro-yo.

Don't worry, I'm not complaining.
