I just finished reading
The Happiness Project, which left me with a giant list of goals I didn't know I wanted to have. Anyway, this book reminded me of something Scott and I like to do, and that is rattle off a "Great Things List." This list generally comes up on Sunday night when we're bummed about heading back to work after an awesome weekend. You know, the commute for me is just killer, so listing great things helps me cope. The great things can be things that will be happening soon or they can be things that are just always great and make life happy. Here's mine for the moment.
