Even in the time I’ve been reading/following you, I’ve noticed the change. Honestly the 6 am bike ride still strikes me as overdoing this happiness thing a little -- I’m still stuck on a slightly grungier/grumpier 8-9 am out-the-door time -- but it’s awesome that it works for you. 😁

The cat wakes me up at 6am most days, I check my email, make coffee, and I'm either hiking or biking at 7am. I wish I was joking, but a bike ride in the morning makes me feel good all day. I think I swapped bacon for endorphins. (though I will say that Bakon, the vegan substitute, fries crispy and fills that niche for me now. I don't know what is in it, and I don't wanna know.)

After driving a new rental for four days, getting back behind the wheel of my '99 hooptie makes me a little wistful for a new ride. But that is years away for me, I think, if ever. A friend of mine has a Subaru Crosstek or whatever they're called and I like it.

The CrossTrek is a great little car. They get around on the trails even better than my big wagon.

You've out-granola'd me by far.

Congrats! You seem happy.

I had one last night. Sometimes you need one.
