The weird rating system came about like this…

Itchy feet – “I go through the motions of happy on a daily basis and am by no means suicidal, but I long to wake up with my feet itching to hit the floor instead of the heavy, slightly disoriented realization that this is, in fact, my life.”

Basically, how excited am I to get out of my comfy, cozy bed and my pleasant slumber to start the day.

Twitch – I have a twitch under my right eye. It’s most prominent in the mornings but is usually there to some degree. I knew a guy who had the same affliction. He was unhappy with the way his life was going. He changed countries, jobs, and voila…no twitch.

Basically, I’m employing a different method but hoping for the same result.

Happy hour – “At the end of each day, he found a reason to celebrate.” On the first day of this journey, I went to a funeral and heard those words about the great man who had just passed. I thought it was a fabulous way to end the day…looking back and finding the reasons it was great – no matter what.

Basically, it’s a compliment to itchy feet.

The twitch will hopefully be gone one day and the other two are rated out of 5 each day. Hope that helps 🙂
