Stop waiting for the right time and do what makes you happy. 

Do you ever just feel…BLAH? 

After long weeks of work, cranky kids, unruly dogs and every day stress. Times that, even though you absolutely love your life, your routine needs a shake. 

Especially as adults with kids and a career, we can sometimes get caught in a routine. Listen, I honestly love a routine. I like order and knowing what is coming. I also, know that sometimes we get so caught up with life we start to forget about the little things that bring us joy. 

We are in a hurry in the mornings so we skip out on putting our coffee in a cute mug with whipped cream and cinnamon sprinkles and throw it in the first tumbler we grab. 

You are running late so you don’t bother to make an effort with our hair and pray you look somewhat presentable and not like a cave dwelling Neanderthal. 

You grab the same lunch, using the same plate, as yesterday because it is quick and easy. 

You take the same route, listen to the same station, sipping then same coffee as you did on your morning drive every day this week. 

This week do yourself a favor and do things that bring you joy. 

They don’t have to be big things. It can be as simple as getting out your favorite fall candle, closing the blinds and pretending it’s October. 

Drink your lemon water from a martini glass. 

Buy a cheep bouquet of flowers for your kitchen table. 

Have your salad in one of the “nice” salad plates you save for company. 

Wear lipstick just because you love the way it makes you feel. Even if you’re spending the day in sweats on the couch. 

Tell me what little things you like to do to brighten your day?
