Joy

I’ve been letting myself be less happy than I should be. Okay, there is something wrong, actually. I have a foot problem at the moment. It hurts to walk too much and I really, really like walking. I’ve been dealing with it as best I can — swimming a couple of times a week, riding a bike more, walking when I need to but trying to figure out the best shoe option.

It’s not this particular foot thing that’s important, but the fact that I’m in pain part of the day. It’s making me grumpy and judgemental, and while I’m doing all I can about the pain, I can totally control not being whiny about other things that have nothing to do with it.

So this post is about joy. I need to list things, just for myself, that make me happy at this particular moment, just right now. It was a too warm day but I had a nice swim at an outdoor pool. I’ve done my German homework for my class tomorrow already. I had a really tasty potato salad for dinner. I can go to bed early tonight and hopefully have a good night’s sleep.

Foro is with me. All else is good. I just need to remember to be grateful for the good bits, and try not to let pain get the better of me.
