I get weirdly excited about a few random things. Leap Day just happens to be one of them. It seems silly, but I just love the idea that there is a whole bonus day once every 4 years. Normally, this morning would be a giant bummer. Our coffee machine is broken, it’s a Monday and our kitchen needs a deep clean. I’m not mad about any of it.

Some other things I get ridiculously excited about:

Coffee mugs. Whether they are colorful, funny, souvenirs. I love coffee mugs.

The email from the library telling me one of the books I requested is there.

Take off on a plane. It’s my favorite part.

Getting anything in the mail that isn’t a bill or advertisement.

Stumbling upon restaurants that end up being the most amazing.

A glass of champagne.

Hitting 10,000 steps before noon.

Lists. The act of making them and the act of checking things off. I love it.

Finishing a project at work or even one small task that makes someone else’s job easier.

When a book makes me laugh really hard or cry a little bit.

I’m sure I could go on for a while, but I’m off to get myself a donut and coffee to start this magical Monday. What are you doing to celebrate your bonus day?
