A Little Advice from Me to Me:
Dear Sara,
Guess what? Sometimes you take things for granted. Sometimes you sweat the small stuff. Sometimes you let little things bother you more than they should.
Give your head a shake.
When you're sitting at your desk, annoyed by something mundane remember the little things. Life's little miracles. Look over and see a beautiful bridge, being showered with white fluffy snowflakes as the sun sets on a river. From your desk you can turn and see this. Remember that. Remember that some people aren't blessed with the natural beauty of the world that you are. Many people don't have access to see and swim in lakes whenever they want. They can't sit in the sand or take walks along a rocky shore. You can. You live in a beautiful place and sometimes you forget that. It's the little things that turn out to be big things.
Life gave you that reminder today when you were at your desk and took these pictures. It happened when you took a second to forget about your list of "To Do's". When you forgot to look at the clock. Forgot to count down how much time you had before the clock struck five and you could race out of the room as though you'd turn into a pumpkin.
So think about that. Every so often. Okay?
Take Care, Comb your hair.
Sincerely,
Sara

Funny thing, Sara. I was looking that same snow hazy sunset behind that same giant white tent, as I left work yesterday afternoon, and I was thinking the same thing. "Stop taking it all for granted, ya blonde bonehead!" (Note: my inner monologue is a tad more hostile that yours!)
Ah, I miss that river.
I think you'd be happier overall if you just played some practical jokes on M. It would be ideal if you could convince her that she's seeing things so that she'll go to a psychologist for one problem but the psych will realize she has LOTS of problems and maybe will even fix a few.
