We woke up to rain this morning and even though it's almost 9:00 am it is dark as night inside my house (outside it is almost as bad). Thankfully I have my computer as a cheerful refuge from the gloom outside, as well as some pretty photos I took of the tulips and daffodils I treated myself to this past weekend. When I'm feel especially uninspired or unmotivated to take care of much needed housework I like to pick up a bunch or two of affordable blooms at Trader Joe's (or pick something from outside if it is available) and place simple little arrangements around my house. Nothing fancy...just flowers inside whatever glasses or jars I have laying around. To me there is nothing quite like fresh cut flowers to make even the drabbest day feel manageable and the most mundane chores doable.
Do you have any little tricks or small pleasures that help perk you up when you're having a less than cheery day? xo Ez
