Short but sweet, Journeyers\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Last Sunday, I glanced up from my work to spot this rare Eastern Bluebird sitting on a delicate branch smack dab in the middle of my view.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Twenty-eight years in this home and I\u2019ve never seen this species.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And the ground! Do you see the ground?!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The sheer sight of the grass is a definite indicator that Old Man Winter is on his way out and Spring is on her way in.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And that work problem I\u2019ve been dealing with? The overcrowding with one group of my students?<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I finally got a reprieve when my supervisors reassigned sixteen of my group to another area\u2026finally a little breathing room\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I think we all feel like we won the lottery.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And then, at a spaghetti dinner fundraiser for a local softball team, I was the winner of this fabulous basket!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I was as excited about these twist crayons as I was about the free yogurt coupons.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/o:p><\/span> <\/div>\n

I\u2019ll never outgrow the joy that comes with smelling a fresh crayon or the pleasure I receive while coloring!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you ever take a step back and do something that brought you great childhood happiness?<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

On the home front, I finally had the energy to take care of the loads of laundry that were spilling over and even unpacked the remainder of my suitcase from my trip to Texas three weeks ago\u2026 (I know<\/i>\u2026)<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the dream work front, I completed my week\u2019s goal of finishing The Five Facets Philosophy<\/i> website components\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And then, to top off the week, I enjoyed some fabulous girlfriend time and an afternoon of shopping, laughing, and catching up\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We even found a new perfume\u2026and check out the awesome bottle!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Alien, Journeyers\u2026have you ever heard of it?<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And you know an even greater part of this line? They offer refills right there in the store! They actually refill your bottles.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Now that\u2019s what I call a win-win-win\u2026the retailer saves space, we protect the environment and save a little on our wallets\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Rest, rejuvenation, rewards, relaxation\u2026those are the winning combinations that came together to fill last week\u2019s happy\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

How about you? What Moment(s) made you smile or brought a sense of fulfillment or happiness to your week? Share them here and spread a little joy.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
