Reasons to Grin on a Monday

• The return of the Christmas season = the return of stunning clementines in all grocery stores. Ohh, little spheres of sunshine....
• I have three mornings free to sleep this week. Sweet goodness, the bliss.
• Two weekend shifts have renewed my hope in the younger generation and their reading habits. Met one woman with a Christmas list that included book pub dates, all of which was written out by her ten-year-old daughter. Also encountered a nine-year-old girl who picked up four books in, oh... two minutes? I think she could have bought the store if she had access to income.
• Started in on an H.P. Lovecraft anthology, and whoa mercy -- intense speculative horror stories, indeed.
• Finished Kathleen Winter's Annabel last week, and got to cross the book off THREE literary awards reading lists.
• Knowing that lists will always save me when it comes to steady content.

HUZZAH.
