Small successes can bring us happiness - in my yoga class in the morning, I took a step toward mastering a new, inverted balancing pose. I could only hold it for a moment or two, but it was further than I had progressed to date.

I also had a couple of small successes at work - small compliments from my boss and from my clients that helped me to find meaning in what can be a lonely and thankless job.

And of course time with family is wonderful. Our family outing for the evening had to be postponed because we needed to visit the pharmacy to get medicine for my youngest daughter, and we ended up having fun together, anyway, wandering through the store as the prescription got filled, then enjoying a home cooked meal afterward.
