I again apologize for being a bit absent from the blog this week. A fun weekend with my parents (I did no work) and a majorly failed recipe on Tuesday set me behind.

As a blogger trying to share recipes with all of you, failed ones can be very frustrating. I felt discouraged on Tuesday. I had nothing to share with you on Wednesday. And I thought I would have to continue to play catch-up with posts.

But, I had one bad day. That’s it. The next was great. I developed four recipes on Wednesday, without having to rush. It’s like the food blogging gods were there to help pick me up after my day of discouragement.

Reminder to self: there will be good days and there will be bad days, but the good seem so much more significant than the bad. The bad will disappear, you won’t remember them. The good will stick around. Words to live by for blogging and for life.

Enjoy, five little things that made my week.

{This kitty. For being the best little cuddler.}

{This pasta. For being just so delicious. And for making the best leftovers.}

{This doughnut. Given to me by Ben (Greg’s cousin) at the Headhouse Farmer’s Market. It was from here and undeniably delicious.}

{This. With mom, dad and Greg. And a great surprise from Janet and Eva. We went, we ate, we explored. So much fun. }

{This sugar. I love this picture for some reason. The only good thing to come out of the failed recipe I mentioned above.}

What little things made your week special? 

How do you deal with a bad day?

Enjoy your Friday!
