Today I had one of those lovely, introspective days where everything felt easy, pleasant and nice. Nothing particularly special or wonderful happened. I spent it running errands - getting my oil changed, going to the laundromat, picking up some things from Target - you know, awesomely exciting things of that nature. Despite the averageness of my activities, I couldn't help feeling perkier than usual.
I guess it's because my life is pretty awesome. No, scratch that. Let's just go right out and say it: my life is fucking awesome. I have the world's cutest, most caring and thoughtful husband who I'm disgustingly in love with, a family that I adore who never gets boring and is always there when you need them, and a handful of kooky awesome crazy friends who make me smile and laugh until I can't breathe.
And sure, the cranky, irritable, pessimistic Cailin will probably come lurking around the corner at some point, but for now I'll enjoy this sudden sunniness and remember that there are so many people out there who give me reasons to be thankful.
So I apologize if this post feels a little "so what?" (or maybe that's just my pessimism coming through! oh darn!), but I suppose it's my strange way of saying.... thanks? Thanks. For being who you are.
For now I'll keep smiling.
