Yesterday, I lingered a bit longer in the flower aisle at Wholefoods, having a midday chat with my best friend & enjoying the sights of a synthetic spring.
It definitely put a little (much needed) pep in my step, after the woe-is-me week I had last.
are there any little things you do this time of year to boost your mood?

* I felt so good, infact, that I forgot the main ingredient, chicken, for the hummus crusted chicken recipe Laura recommended. Luckily, Eli saved the day - and it was delicious!
we are synced up. i totally did the same thing yesterday at new seasons.
ReplyDeletei say bike rides, food, flowers, and travel are getting me through this season. is it bad i'm considering going tanning?
oh portland.
I like dreaming up summer travel plans to keep me sane in the winter. Buying cheerful secondhand knickknacks to brighten up the apartment also helps! And it's only getting better - for the first time in months it was still light out when I got home.
ReplyDeleteFresh flowers are something that can always boost my mood. I've never indulged much in bubble baths, but I always try to spend money on flowers. My bf got me yellow tulips after a trip I had...and that really brightened me up :)
ReplyDelete(Good conversation does that too. Any time of year :)
I bake cupcakes! with pink frosting :)
ReplyDeleteYou inspired me to buy flowers to lighten the mood accompanied by midterms right now. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteanonymous - I bought daffodils yesterday! If flowers got you through midterms, they can get me through anything!
ReplyDeletecara - not going to lie, I've been considering tanning ... you know, for mental health reasons. Ha!
hannah - great idea! Isn't everything better when you have something to look forward to?
lillian - I couldn't agree more about great conversation. In real life, or in blog life!
molly - good food (especially anything sweet!) is an instant mood booster for me too.
