I don’t like Tuesdays. Let’s just clear the air. I love Monday’s, they’re my favorite! But today was nice. I woke up, got to class right on time, and felt the least amount of stress I’ve ever felt on a Tuesday. I have class from 9am to 5pm on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s and usually I’m studying, reading or in a meeting in between those classes. That didn’t happen today. I was a nice break, I didn’t have anything I really was struggling to get done and the day was just nice. I also put together flower arrangements, which I LOVE and it was nice.

The reason I’m blogging is because something really sweet happen today. I got to have dinner with a few other student leaders, and the flower that I had arranged previously were on each table. After leaving the event I asked if I could take an arrangement. I got to take a bright yellow arrangement home (yellow has ALWAYS been my favorite color) so I was happy. I stuck it in my bike basket and off I went.

It. Was. SO. Lovely. I live in a beach town/city, and my bike ride home is all the way down the intercostal! My yellow flowers bounced in my bike basket, my yellow bike smiled at people walking by and so did I! For a few minuets I was filled with so much joy. The weather is so nice right now, and everything just felt really good. I realized that the color of things really changes my mood, not that I was upset, but I think being surrounded by all of my favorite, bright, happy color, made my heart smile really really big!!! I was just happy.

Anyways, tomorrow, or maybe the next day, try and surround yourself with three things that are your favorite color, it makes such a difference. It’s so important to find things, even little things like our favorite color, that make us genuinely happy.

With sunshine and smiles,
