What a lovely idea!  Sometimes you just can’t alter the big picture, but maybe there are little treats to enjoy along the way.

I enjoy my Mary Engelbreit daily calendar on my desk with its bright, cheery pictures and quotes.

Lunch with a friend provides a breath of fresh air and lightens any tension I might be feeling.

Laughter sprinkled throughout the day is like a cherry on a sundae.

Lighting a candle upon arriving home helps me take a deep breath and relax.

And of course, there is always coffee.  S’mores with your coffee, anyone?
