This post is going to be about the happy things that have happened since I’ve been home from Chicago. The list of happy things from Chicago is very long, and I’ve shared some of them, like Lost Eras and decorating the bus stop shelter. But now I’m home, back to reality. And I’m learning that my reality is totally what I make it! So here’s to happy things in and around us.
