So lately I have noticed how easy it is for me to focus on the negative things that happened during the day rather than the positives. I have decided to try to pick out at least one positive thing that happened during my day. I used to work with a staff that ended our day with what we called highs and lows. We gave everyone a time to complain for a little bit about something negative, but everyone had to finish their turn with something positive. I found that it really helped me feel good about my day, and not be so consumed with my problems and wrapped up in myself. I also realize that my "problems" really aren't that problematic. So here goes this experiment.
Today really was a good day. I was dead at church this morning. Sara had to go to work at noon so I decided to get up early and go to the early service with her. (For those of you who do not know who Sara is, she is my housemate and best friend) It's nice to be able to ride to church together, which we haven't done since a couple weeks before I went to Haiti. Although I felt dead and had a headache because I had not had coffee, it was a good service and good discussion in Bible Fellowship. I enjoyed spending time with Sara while we were driving to and from church. We were able to talk without the distractions of all the things we have to get done when we are home. We stopped to get some coffee which got some caffiene pumping through our veins and relieved my headache.
Another big positive for the day is that I got to have lunch with my good good friend Brittany. She lives in the area, but we don't get to hang out a lot, or at least not as much as we would like. Anyway it was so good to sit in the crazy food court at the mall and just catch up on life. Somehow we managed to have a great conversation over the sounds of screaming children. I love listening to what's going on in her life and the random crazy things she encoutners, and the decisions she has to make. She is one of those people who is easy to relate to and confide in.
So those are some positives from the day and the day is definitely not over yet. So let the good things keep on coming.
