Making the most of toast.

Today, aka Blue Monday, was supposedly the most depressing day of the year. Chris brought this fun fact to my attention while we were working out at 8am as if I could have any less motivation. Whilst I rained sweat on the elliptical, I watched "Blue Monday" storm across the television as though it were December 2012. Newscasters described today as the day our resolutions begin to fall apart and the financial ramifications of excessive holiday shopping appear on this month's billing cycle. Yikes.

So, in order to ward off my inner Eeyore, I turned to "Make the Most of Toast," by Rebecca Ann Dolen. This quirky little picture book accompanied by two warm, buttery slices of toast turned this frown upside down. In fact, one slice happened to be one of those crusty, first/last slices of the loaf my Dad refers to as the butt. Didn't matter. It was delicious.
