Thirteen Things about Farf I woke up in a wonderful mood this morning, which has not diminshed at all during the day. So, without ado, here are thirteen things that have made me happy today. 1. Watching the birds fly in flocks outside my office window. Sure, they are likely only pigeons, but they look beautiful swooping and flying in intracate patterns. 2. The sun on my face through the bus window warming me up even though it is freezing cold outside. 3. Tiki (my dog) being perfectly behaved during this morning's walk and even sitting and looking at me when there were other dogs and birds to chase on the street. 4. Husband is doing my taxes so I do not have to even pay them the slightest attention this year. (Note, I never paid them attention since my Uncle always completed them, but Husband had taken over that role and the transition has gone swimmingly for me.) 5. Sister and I are planning a weekend away this spring to a spa in Connecticut and suddenly, early March seems right around the corner. 6. Despite the fact that I have gained almost 10 lbs. since my wedding, two strangers today told me I look thin and wonderful. 7. The water in the shower this morning was super hot and even though I took an extra long shower this morning, the hot water did not cool off at all. 8. I can wear jeans and sneakers to work. 9. My afternoon meeting and conference call were cancelled and it is as though I suddenly found an extra several hours to the day. 10. The cardamom, ginger and fennel tea I am drinking right now has been brewed to perfection and even though I am at work, I am as relaxed as if I was in pajamas on my couch with Tiki snuggled next to me. 11. I got reimbursed for expenses at work that I had forgotten about and suddenly there is $12 extra in my pocket which I immediately used to splurge on a taxi ride. 12. Most of the television shows I like are on tonight so I can veg for hours in front of the television tonight after teaching my class. 13. I remembered it was Thursday in time to participate in the Thursday 13!
