Reasons This is Going to be a Good Monday

I woke up from some kind of rough dreams this morning, and I'm not feeling great.  So, I'm lying here reminding myself of the lovely things I have to look forward to today:

• Because three hours from now, my dear friend A, and her daughter N are coming to hang out with me for the afternoon
• Because it's Bachelorette day
• Because I have another full week of housesitting ahead of me
• Because there is leftover Banana cream pie in the fridge
• Because the weather forecast for the day is fairly warm and mostly sunny
• Because I'm going to make jello
• and banana bread
• and maybe cookies
• Because there is chocolate in the world
• and some of my favorite television shows are available on DVD
• Because I have reasons to smile, and I'm going to choose to enjoy them
