Some of you may know that the last couple of months have been pretty stressful for me!! Between the break up of my relationship and some other terribly un-fun family-type stuff, it has taken all of my strength just to keep getting through the days – trying to be there for my girls. I’m trying to be the Little Engine that Could and just keep on plugging!!
But it’s tough! I know that everyone has been there in one way or another, and I know that people have challenges that are much more difficult than what I am facing! And I also know that what I *do* have is far greater than what I *don’t* have.
So, in the spirit of seizing the moment and appreciating the good things, here are some awesome moments of today:
- I ate some delicious chocolates that my fremployer (yes, that’s friend + employer… she’s two fun things in one!) left on my desk. Some were peanut butter cups and some were Hershey’s kisses! Delicious!!
- I convinced myself to go to the gas station even though it was really cold and windy and I didn’t feel like it at all! Now my car has gas in it and I won’t have to stress about it in the morning! Yay me for being a grown-up!!
- On the way home today, a song came on the radio and it was “Small Town” by John Mellencamp. I don’t normally like John Mellencamp… or listen to the radio for that matter, but the lyrics of that song made me feel good. And then as I turned the corner, I saw beams of light shining through the clouds and it seemed bright and hopeful and lovely.
- Right now as I type this, I have a little dog snoring on one side of me and a cat snoring softly on the other side.
Happy Monday, everyone! May you also have moments of happy in the hardness.
