Last night I got home after a fairly painless commute and got dinner started – barbecue chicken on the grill, brown rice, and broccoli. While the chicken was grilling, I sewed a bunch of quilt squares. When dinner was ready, I ate at the table. Afterwards I completed a few housekeeping tasks and then went for a walk.
When I got home from my walk, I made dessert (chocolate milk and graham crackers topped with cool whip and blueberries, yum) and sat on the porch with my journal. The weather was cool and beautiful and it encouraged me to sit out there more often in the evenings.
This is the kind of night I want to have regularly. I was motivated to make it happen by my final reading of The Happiness Project and some thoughts on my own “resolutions,” small things I can do each day to make my life happier and more content. Although last night Casey wasn’t home until late, which makes it easier to get in my groove, I’m hoping I can just keep making it happen – I know it will be beneficial for both of us.
