Smile like the sun

Today was a very blah-case-of-the-Mondays day for me. I was grumpy, tired, allergy-y, and a mess of just blah. My moment today came when I was about to leave work, a little after 5, and Carrie came up to me, complaining about how hungry she was. I asked what she ate for snack, and she told me that she was too hungry at lunch, so she didn't have anything left for snack (which, by the way, is very something that one of the campers would say...) So, she asked me to go buy her something. I called her crazy, because there's really nothing right by, and I'd have to backtrack no matter what. However, when I got in my car, I realized that yes, I was having a lame day, but that was all me, not anything else. My perceptions were the ones that were out of place, so I decided to go to a local bakery and buy all of the closers (and myself) smiley cookies. Now, everyone has had smiley face cookies, and while they're pretty, I'm sure there are more delicious cookies in the world, but what mattered was that they were bright, they were appreciated, and they allowed me to kick my grumpy mood out. Not totally, but enough to make me smile, at least a little.
