The Ecstasy of Crossing Something Off the List

Postoffice

Postoffice

Recently, my older daughter and I went to the post office to apply for her passport.

I'd been dreading this trip for days. Every task associated with it filled me with anxiety -- but nothing ended up being as hard as I expected.

And as we walked out of the post office, I felt a giant surge of energy, happiness, and relief. Ah, the ecstasy of crossing something off the list! Even accomplishing the smallest task gives me a little jolt.

This is my new Secret of AdulthoodCrossing something off the list is very cheering. (Also: Make sure you know where to find family members' birth certificates. I was very happy when I found that document in the proper file.)

* I'm really looking forward to the BlogHer Conference next week, and if you're looking for some interesting blogs to read, the BlogHer site has more leads than you can possibly follow.

Sign up for the Moment of Happiness, and every weekday morning, you'll get a happiness quotation in your email inbox.
