I thought the winter weather was quite intense last week in Wisconsin, but this week presented some new challenges.🥶

With wintry mixes creating icy roads and mountains of snow blocking visibility, it was definitely unsettling to be on the road earlier this week. 😬

If any of you have recently experienced difficult weather conditions where you live, I hope you have been able to travel around safely! 💙

I am currently reading (and THOROUGHLY enjoying) Rick Hanson’s Hardwiring Happiness. I LOVE PSYCHOLOGY and have for years, and I am fascinated by the book and how it talks about the importance of focusing on the good and savoring those wonderful moments! 💚

I recently heard The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” on the radio, and I wanted to share it in this week’s post since it’s about being enveloped in the good. 🌞

Lyrics:
I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me the excitations
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me the excitations
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me the excitations
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me the excitations
Close my eyes, she’s somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
Ah, ah, my my, what elation
I don’t know where, but she sends me there
Oh, my my, what a sensation
Oh, my my, what elation
Oh, my my, what
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’
Good, good, good, good vibrations
She’s giving me the excitations
Good, good, good vibrations
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
Na na na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na
Do do do do do, do do do
Do do do do do, do do do

This song makes me feel GREAT! ☀️ How do you like it?

I’d like to encourage you to take a moment to reflect on your day and really savor the good things that happened. How does your mood change once you do this?

Wishing you well! 💛
