This has been a peculiar weekend. An almost-shutdown of the government (thank goodness that didn't happen!!), an interview and an audition, a date, and my psych textbook.
Today happens to be the first sunny, warm day in a very, very long time. Unfortunately tomorrow promises thunderstorms, but it's good to appreciate the sun while it's here, right?
Of course, most of today will be focused on getting as much work done as possible before a date with my first-ever boyfriend tonight (eep!), but I think my psych textbook actually provided some valuable lessons today. (I don't usually appreciate my psych textbook, as the chapters are long, redundant, and sometimes ungrammatical, but today is an exception.) The chapter was on healthy living, so obviously it talked about smoking, obesity, drinking, etc. But it's a psych textbook--it has to talk about the behavior associated with these things too, of course.
And then it talked about how being happy actually can lead to a longer life. And people have established laughing clubs--where people literally spend time laughing--to promote health and happiness. I think that whoever came up with the concept is a genius and we should all join a laughing club.
Happy Sunny-day! (hehe...sorry, bad pun.)
