I've Got the Blues

As is typical with me and all that is science...today was somewhat of a frustrating day in the lab. See exhibit A below:


Gel electrophoresis equipment that helps me visualize the results of my experiment using the wonderful mutagenic/teratagenic substance ethidium bromide (please, Lord, don't let my children have flippers!)

The fact that it was cold and rainy out (after having been teased with a few gorgeous spring days last week) didn't really help my mood any. The people at the grocery store kept getting in my way, someone left a shopping cart in the middle of the parking lot that, of course, started rolling right toward my car, and the list goes on! By the time I got home from the uni and errands, I was nearly in tears (oh the joy of being female).

However, I'm actually not writing to complain about some of the normal frustrations of everyday life, but to say how thankful I am that my husband is such a great listener, encourager, and hugger! I am truly blessed to be able to come home to such a wonderful person, and I'm so grateful to God for this source of love and encouragement. Oh, and the chocolate-frosted brownies we had for dessert didn't hurt either! ;)

So, I'm wondering...what lifts you up after a rough day? What makes you feel better when life isn't going very swimmingly?

Thanks for sharing :) I have no doubt that laughter from your little cutie would make even the dreariest days sunny!
