You know when you have one of those days when absolutely everything went wrong. One of those days when the world seems set up against you, and all you can do is stand there and take it. Let's start celebrating the small victories. The little things that we should be proud of. The little things that we should pat ourselves on the back over. Not every day is going to end in sparks, not every day is going to end in the "best day ever," but every day has something good about it. Break out the champagne and the cookies, I bet you've something on this list, and because of this, you deserve a little bubbly and a lot of smiles.
1. You got out of bed this morning.
2. Or maybe you stayed in bed all day, that's pretty cool too
3. You smiled at a stranger and possibly made their bad day a little better
4. You held the door open for someone behind you
5. You took an extra long shower and it felt amazing
6. You lit a candle and waited for the smell to hit your nose
7. The sun was shinning through your window when you woke up
8. Or the rain made the appeal of staying in bed uncanny
9. You saw children running, jumping, and playing without a care in the world and it warmed your heart
10. You baked yourself a cake because you deserved it
11. You listened to a song that just made you feel alive
12. You stopped for a second and just took a really deep breath
13. You took a much needed nap
14. You went and got that unhealthy food that you've been craving for 4 months
15. You made someone else's day without even knowing it
16. You drank some heavenly coffee
17. You held the elevator for someone
18. You got in a bed with some clean fresh sheets
19. You tried a new movie, friend, or book
20. You went back to an old movie, friend, or book
21. You lit a candle that took you back
22. You said what you finally needed to say to someone (nice or mean)
23. A great idea came to you in the shower
24. You took sometime for yourself
25. You survived the day
26. And you should be damn happy with yourself because of it
Not everyday is going to be your best and not everyday is going to be the worst, but someone just had the best day of their lives. Maybe it wasn't you today, but that's ok. It all works in turn. Pop the bubbly, sit down, and pat yourself on the back. You deserve it after the day you just had.
