Okay, okay, you can laugh at the fact that it is now March, and despite having made wild claims about posting weekly as a New Years resolution, I am posting for the second time. Today was not the best of days and instead of pointless, mind-numbing Facebook browsing I think I will write a therapeutic gratitude list. I need remind myself that February is over (hooray!), the snow is melting, and spring break is in sight. Not to mention the fact that I am nearing the end of my junior year.
So here are a few things I can be thankful for today:
My youngest sister who greets me with an enthusiastic hug and kiss within seconds of my arrival. Today I stopped by my parents and she was waiting for me in the driveway. I love how sweet and genuine she is!
Blueberry Pomegranate tea at the end of a long day. I need something warm and cozy especially when it is this soggy out and my rain boots have a leak...
My oh-so hardworking and thoughtful boyfriend. BF scored a great job and is really excited (as am I.) I can't get over how responsible he is. I suppose opposites really do attract.
The fact that I am not (yet) caffeine dependent. After simultaneously running out of diet coke and cash I worried that I would be miserable all week but I am yet to suffer a headache. This is borderline miraculous!
The season of lent and the reminder I've gotten of the power of sacrifice. I feel so much more purposeful when I let the little snags in my day become an opportunity for love.
And finally I am thankful for the little green leafs I saw poking out of the snow today. The daffodils are coming and I could use a little sunshine.
