in our new home

1. having a hard time choosing only 5 things to be grateful for
2. lea and i dancing and laughing in our new kitchen listening to boards of canada, even though the house is still packed in boxes and we don't know where our clothes are
3. eucalyptus trees in sight from every window
4. reading "the secret lives of moms" on operah's site and reaffirming that i'm not alone
5. finally making peace with the decision to move after a few days and nights of stress
   

nugget: "You can follow someone else's mood, or you can create a better one. Creating that better mood is work, but we all need to let go of the idea of happiness as a birthright and start seeing it as something we put energy into creating for ourselves and our families every day." excerpt from this
