I’m sick today and weighed down with a decision. The decision is one of the best kind — a choice between a situation that is already perfectly lovely and one that would be just as lovely or, maybe, even more so.

Despite a win-win situation, I am stressed out. Decision-making is not one of my strengths. I’d like someone else to choose for me, which may be why I’ve been spamming my friends and family looking for advice.

To remind myself that all is, in fact, quite well, I thought I would find three things that make me smile and put them here. (Confession: I visit my own blog a lot. It’s where I put things I want to remember and it often works well for settling my anxious mind.)

Regardless of what I choose, these things will continue to delight me. I find this comforting.

Thing #1: Birdwatching with my family.

Thing #2: A camelia bud that is beginning to open on the tree outside my house.

Thing #3: The box of chocolates I ate while writing this afternoon. In bed. A heart-shaped box, even. Honestly, can a Tuesday afternoon get much better than that?
