Lent--Days 1 through 7

For the past four years, I have posted one happy thing a day during Lent. In those days, I did it because I was sad and depressed and felt like I needed the exercise. It's a testament to my new quality of life that I completely forgot about this annual tradition until today. However, I think it's kind of nice to focus on a happy thing each day, so I'm still going to do it, even though I am much, much happier than I was. 

I'm going to cheat, though, and say that the happy things for Days 1 through 6 were my family visiting. Because they came for Mardi Gras and stayed for a while afterward and it was delightful to have them around, being noisy and chaotic and hilarious. But this does lead to my happy thing for today (Day 7), which is:

A full night's sleep in my own bed. That was absolutely glorious.
