Today.

So today I woke up and had the feeling that the world was going to go wrong. All day. And for a while, it really seemed to. Those specific details aren't important so we'll just leave it at that.

However, on my walk home from the DBS library I was reflecting on all the good things that happened to me today and I've come up with a list of my top 5:

1. Woke up early (8:00 am, early for me!) and went on a good run. It was raining a little (you get what you pay for here in Ireland) but it was more like a refreshing mist than a torrential downpour.

2. Irish economics was very interesting today (always is). We talked about immigration/emmigration, as well as the "profile" of a typical immigrant in Ireland. All very interesting and very relevant, especially since I see a number of immigrants everywhere in Dublin. Love that class :)

3. Raisins were on sale at Dunnes grocery store. I stocked up.

4. Got quite a bit done in the library so I felt pretty good about myself during my walk home. I was quite exhausted, but in the good, "I've accomplished something" sort of way.

5. Weather was GORGEOUS during the afternoon/evening.

okay, two more and then I'm done, haha...

6. Went on another run, this time with my friend Shannon and the weather was just too perfect. I then made myself a glorious salad, and Meg came home from Poland with an armful of pastries so we had a pastry party!

7. Booked our flight to Scotland. I seriously cannot WAIT. This may have been the top moment of my week!


So, those are my the best of the best on this memorable March 29. So even when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, just remember there is always something (maybe as many as seven things) to make you smile :)

Cheers!
