Yes! I've been trying to "find wonder" in the everyday this year, because so much changes for our family in the fall. We've had a few major upheavals already, but it's time to get back to this. (Also, I think we're doing a pre-college-launch vacation to California later this summer!)
Ooh pre-college-launch vacation! Very fun! Text me if you need recs. ;)
I'm so excited for the changes you have coming: major life changes don't always feel great when they're happening, but they're all an opportunity to reassess and upgrade lots of stuff, if you want to.
So I've been in my new apartment in the city for just 8 days now, but I had no idea how much happier living near the water (but in an urban environment) would make me. Every day I've been walking my dog along the pier, and something I was dreading (a fenced in backyard was very easy!) has become a total joy. I love seeing all of the other people and dogs too, and my step count is way up with little effort. And of course I've been taking photos of the water too. This has been a huge step for me, and one I've waited a long time to achieve, but it's even better than I hoped for. :) I always appreciate the positive spin you try to find in every little thing.
I love this for you!! And your city is one of the best in the world so you have that added thing going for you. :) One of these days I'll get back there and you can show me around your new place!
This reminds me (happily 🙂) of my mom who always said “you’re as happy as you choose to be” and “bloom where you’re planted”. She was quite the cheerful person most of the time. Trying to recognize a happy content moment at home is something to cherish. And I love a declared pajama day!

Your mom sounds like an awesome lady!
And I'm not shocked that you enjoy a pajama day, twinnie! LOL!
Exactly! Now if only we had declared pajama day in the same place sometime!
SOMEDAY!
