Little things that make every day special . . .

It is so easy to get bogged down on all of the things that we hate about the daily grind and to take for granted the little things that make life easier, happier and generally more livable.  In the spirit of being grateful (and let's face it, between Facebook and Twitter, there is only so much Monday bashing that anyone can take) I sat down and thought of a few things that make me each day better
  • Google reader - quick and easy access to every blog, news feed and/or design blog that I love; 
  • Spotify - I find music I love, then I listen to it.  I don't have to pay for it.  You simply can't beat that :) 
  • Starbucks so strong that I still feel jittery four hours later -- Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte is my favorite (not everyday of course & never with whip).  As an aside: whipped cream is only for emergencies i.e. break up, ex-boyfriend sighting, lost your job, snagged your panty hose, got splashed by a cab -- that kind of day).  
  • iMessage - Thank you, Apple (& AT&T) for not making me feel guilty about text messages - at least to other iPhone users. 
  • RedEye Chicago's tongue-in-cheek reporting & tweets :) 
  • My super easy commute - 20 minutes door to door.  Living in the city certainly has its perks! 
My view of the Bean from my office (this, of course, is not my view - just a gratuitous shot of the bean):
