Day 314: I Can Only See Green

I'm starting to discover that the hardest days to find a happy moment, are the ones where I'm not in a bad mood and not much is going on. I think it's because when I'm in a bad mood it's a lot easier to pick out something that was good in the day against the dank backdrop of a gloomy 24 hours. Today was no exception, not much going on, nothing bad happening, just living. After work, I decided to focus on something that me me happy on the bike ride home. I watched everyone I rode past on the street to see if they were up to anything uplifting. Nada. I looked for signs, unusual events, anything. Nothing at all. I got home fairly quickly and felt a little disappointment, when I realized what had just happened. I was happy when I had the perfect ride home. Everyday I ride my bike home for work it's inevitable that I get cut off by some driver who's not paying attention. Also, I (usually due to being cut off) miss the lights and hit the intersection right when it turns red. But today, every driver was courteous and was watching out for me and I hit every light and didn't have to stop once. Pretty awesome. It's the small things!
