I read this ChronicBabe article earlier this week, and it's given me some great perspective on finding joy in small - and sometimes unexpected - places.Labels: Stuff I Read

Sharing the journey that has taken me from being a single girl in the advertising agency world to a married mommy running my own freelance writing and consulting business (and every random adventure in between).
About Me
- Name: Lindsay
- Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
THINGS I LOVE: Thunderstorms, power ballads, princess camping, exploring new cities, Jon Stewart, greatest hits CDs, clever ads, packing for a trip, George Clooney, impractical footwear, movies about spies, Starbucks, reading an entire book in one sitting, a house full of friends, movies about spies, buying presents, a perfect French manicure, warm modernist architecture, getting flowers for no reason, being faux brunette, Mary Poppins, making lists on Post-It notes, decorating for Christmas, having a brilliant middle-of-the-night 'aha!' idea and then actually remembering it in the morning / THINGS I HATE: People who whine, wearing sweats in public, 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, birds, American tourists in foreign countries, taking down the Christmas tree, poems that rhyme, the misuse of semicolons, being lied to, unpacking after a trip, being closed-minded, naming your kid something common but then spelling it stupidly, cowboys, overly cautious drivers, fake curse words, ridiculously long surnames, strangers who start awkward conversations with you in places you can't readily escape

You could have written this one, Lindsay:) I laughed when I read about the 4 green lights in a row as I had experienced that last week and how 'happy' it made me. Also remembering Jo when she said the family doubled up on subs in London and the server gave them extra pickles. Isn't it the small things that make our days brighter - chronic babes or not?
hey lindsay, thanks for that nice comment! this piece has gotten a big reaction and i'm thrilled to see that. it's a new focus for me (well, a focus i'm refocusing, if that makes sense) and i'm passionate about spreading the word. thanks for doing so! hugs, jenni
