Today was a lovely day. I decided to take the day off and sleep in, while waiting for my couch to be delivered. And I read a book! A real book, from beginning to end. It made me exceptionally happy.

And then, it arrived. The brand, new, lovely couch! And Nilo

was right – a new sofa can make a big difference. This one did – both for my funk and my living room. It’s not green as I had thought, but kind of gold color with green in it, and it actually goes very well in the room. It even brightens it up some.

It’s amazing what a little sleep, a good book and a new sofa can do for your outlook.
