I was talking with a friend the other day about happiness. We had been discussing how we were both a little melancholy within our current day to day life. She said "i just want to have a really great day." and i thought about that.
I want that too.
How many really great days can a person have in a year? I mean REALLY great. One a month, a week a year?
I had a really great day when shane and i went and saw Beck and Band of Horses. I had a great day recently being lazy and watching a movie AND having a nap and then going out for dinner on my own. I had a couple great days camping with the kids last summer.
I haven't had enough great days.
Shouldn't we have a great day more often? Are my expectations too high?
Of course, when i start thinking this way i begin to feel super guilty because there are a whole lotta ways to have a bad day in this world and no shortage of people having really bad days.

I love this photo - it took me awhile to figure out that what I thought were birch trees were icicles. Really lovely.
