Yesterday I had a rough day keeping positive. I am assuming a lot of that has to do with the low-sun situation we’ve had since mid-December. It seems we all (here in mid-Michigan) are having a time staying positive these days.

Today the sun shines. there still is a slight haze up there in the sky so it doesn’t exactly look blue, but there are shadows in my office and I am very grateful.

I’m going to start this new day right. I had Twinings English Breakfast tea and Mochi for breakfast, a favorite treat. I’m going to play Mahotella Queens very loud as I get dressed. I am going to look in my closet for the most cheerful, bright clothing I can possibly find to wear today.

I will run an errand as cheerfully as I can. I will go get an allergy shot and enjoy the 20 minute wait by knitting something I love knitting. I will go see Altu and she will give me food from her restaurant that is healthy and healing, and we will enjoy one another’s company.

I will teach children to knit one more time, and enjoy their company. I will have 3 luxurious hours with the children and I will notice that luxury.

Then I will go to Rae’s and teach my wonderful repeat students, the ones who continue to take classes I teach almost without regard to what the subject matter might be. I will be in the moment and I will have a good time. I will show Rae the fun new yarns I dyed, because she also dyes and will understand my joy.

Then I’ll go home and have a conference call between a friend in California and a friend in Maine and spend an hour working together toward a single goal. Then I will make another good cup of tea and spend time with my wonderful husband.

May you also have a good day. Enjoy that sunshine if you have some!
