I needed to read this today. Nothing *really* bad happened, but it didn't feel like a good day overall, more like a heavy feeling that won't go away. Here are my five nice things:

1-I made some luffa soaps this afternoon and they turned out great.

2-I cut a loaf of soap (homemade, from scratch) into bars and they ended up looking exactly like I'd pictured when I made the batch yesterday.

3-My husband and I are happy and healthy.

4-My husband and I both have our jobs, which during all the uncertainty right now, is more than we could ask for.

5-The house we are renting is in good condition and the landlord is awesome. After a stressful move in June, we realized we are very lucky for what we have.

Thank you for making me think of these, and for your article.
