The Year is Almost Over

December 29th

Here are the happy things from today:

• The weather outside was freezing rain for most of the day so I didn't go anywhere. Had the weather been different it would have been nice to go for a walk with Amy and visit with Keziah. That was not to be. Instead I made a list of things to do and got most of them done.  I actually did at least some part of everything on my list in one way or another.

• The ice storm has made me very happy with past me. When I was packing some things up weeks ago, I specifically didn't pack a pair of ExoSpikes. Being able to wear those to go to the main house and clear some ice off the driveway, safely, made going outside much nicer than slip-sliding and falling.

• There was an online thing that I came across today that was called 10 Morning Habits That Will Make You Happier (Backed by Science). That link just brought me to the end of the YouTube video. I hope that was only because I watched it already and it brings you, the reader, to the beginning-if you choose to watch it. Anyhow, I'm considering slowly adding some of the suggestions to my “morning”. One of the suggestions is sunlight. That isn't naturally possible on my work days. With the New Year a few days away my mind is thinking about whether there are things I want to change about my Blog. I'm considering adding some things the YouTube video suggests and try to see how it goes.  
• With a little help from the internet, I completed the New York Times online crossword today.  I don't usually try.  That felt good.
