Monday's aren't always awful.

Actually, it was probably one of the greatest days I've had in quite some time. I blame it almost entirely on waking up early enough to squeeze in a run before work. Seriously exercise and endorphin release work wonders. 

A Happy List: 

///running in the cool summer morning air. absolutely perfect. actually just running again, no matter how much it made my body ache. 

///a couple of the sweetest blog comments. no doubt, comments are the greatest. 

///the moment when the counselor you had a secret crush on adds you on insta. cute, not creepy hopefully, right? even if you only talked to him one night all summer, and haven't seen him for a month.. 

///the moment a light turns yellow on you. it's funny how excited it makes me. it's probably because it gives me an extra wish. today, I hit three-- my wish best be comin' true. 

///a missionary e-mail that starts out Brit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how can that not make you happy? fun fact: writing friends is 100x better than writing "your missionary" you don't have to worry about what you say, or how either of you feel toward the situation.. or any of that.

///a second missionary e-mail from another great friend, & seeing that their dumb sense of humor still remains. 

///people who say "Brit, I seriously just think you're the coolest girl ever, I can't wait to meet your husband, to bad you'll have to be the settler because I think it'd be impossible to find someone who'd make you the reacher." wow. that was one of the nicest most confidence boosting things anyone has ever said to me. 

///having your one best friend at college with you. so when you get off work you can meet for Jamba runs. new friends will never understand you the way your best friends since elementary school do. 

///running errands with another best friend. everyone deserves best friends as great as mine, that's for sure. 

///chocolate fro-yo. 'nuff said. 

///hallmark movies. they're a weakness amongst my sisters and me. 

& one more thing, a super good scripture study from last night always contributes to a better tomorrow. 

& maybe that's why today I felt so blessed, & just so happy to be alive. Life is goood.
