This Week’s Best Reasons to Smile

1. Finding the resolve to complete a three-day juice cleanse. Tomatoes were literally floating through my mind in yoga class, but I made it. And surprise bonus, I felt pretty amazing after all was said and done.

2. Homemade kale gomae. Holy smokes! Outstanding. Recipe coming soon…

3. Walking into Safeway early in the morning (that almost never happens) and getting hit in the face with a waft from the bakery. I don’t actually eat anything from that department, but it certainly smells amazing.

4. Handstand practice in the park. The looks I get from the cars driving by…priceless.

5. Pastel blue manicures.

6. The meal following that aforementioned juice cleanse. Oh, and the abs that appeared during the process weren’t too shabby either.

7. Spontaneous Little Mermaid sing-a-longs.

8. Putting it all on the line. Whether or not the response you get is the response you want, there’s something to be said for asking the important questions before it’s too late.

9. Letting go of the pen.

10. Turning my buddy over to the dark side. New Girl marathons are much more fun with a counterpart.
