I took advantage of my day off on Monday and got a haircut. I always go to the same place and they always do a great job. Four stars everytime. I always get the MVP deal at Sport Clips. A haircut, shampoo, and a massage. They turned me on to that Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner that I buy at Target and Giant Eagle.
Later that afternoon as the sun came out, I made a coffee date with myself and went somewhere I hadn’t in quite a while. I discovered White Rabbit back in 2016 when I had a day off at WIS. I’d go there periodically to relax and have a cup of coffee or a pastry. Like many small businesses, they took a pretty big hit from COVID but, fortunately, they are still going.
I took a seat by the window and had a nice view of outside where I saw the sun beginning to go down for the day. I was plugging into my new Michelle Obama book and enjoying my coffee and pastry (I got the snickerdoodle). Looking at my phone, I was relishing the compliments on my outfit and documenting everything on my social media (Facebook and Instagram).
The reason I posted about my Monday was that I want you all reading this to have the opportunity to spot joy in every part of your day. A few years ago I met a girl on Instagram who does this herself (she calls it #joyspotted). I started doing it myself and it made a difference in how I see the day.
With us going through the coldest part of winter and my work not leaving much time for anything else, I try to make the most of my opportunities to get out and enjoy and live life. That means dressing nice and always slaying my outfits.
I’ll be shopping for some new ‘fits soon and making the most of my gift cards from Christmas (plus I have a few left from my birthday last year). That Amazon gift card might help me get a webcam for this laptop which would give me the opportunity to better attend online Toastmasters meetings via Zoom. Plus I plan to get back into photography after a few years away from my camera.
This past Christmas has brought me joy and given me new opportunities as well
