Things that make you feel better.

In no particular order:

• having delicious homemade cake laying around.
• a dog that wags his whole body when you come home.
• having the chance to talk to your daughter while driving all the way down to Provo and all the way home.
• making a toddler smile.
• doughnuts for the drive home.
• having tickets to a concert but not wanting to leave the house, but going anyway and having a great time.
• finding out that your four-year-old granddaughter in Scotland has taken a picture of you when you were having a webchat.
• reading. 
• having a dinner that consists of toast. Lots of toast.
