Even if I do neglect it. Whoops. Way behind.
I won't lie there were points this week where I struggled to find things to be thankful for. Budget insanity, finally having class actually catch up with me and whap me in the head, and the Hurricane/Tropical Storm/Tropical Depression/Low Pressure System/Nor'easter/Monsoon formally known as Ida to literally rain on my parade all week.
(PS. First Weatherman or woman who says the word "drought" to me before the end of 2009 gets a pop in the mouth.)
But none the less the week did have its moments.
(10) Apples. Being able to figure out the perfect coffee:splenda:cream ratio. Unexpected encouragement from people I really respect in times where I feel like nothing I do is right.
(11) My grandmother for her baking skills that were inadvertently given to me as a child. God's patience when all I really want to do is yell at people. The ability to keep my cool and do my job to the best of my abilities. (I hope.)
(12) Green tea. Oatmeal. My car (even when it doesn't start.), SGA girls that get it. Aqua angels
(13) Blueberries. Running in to a long lost friend randomly and being able to invite her to dinner (and then doing so that night). The ability to speak in front of faculty and hopefully make their 2 hour meeting a little more light-hearted, if only for a moment.
(14) The Chronicle for Higher Education (read: i'm a nerd). The farmer's market and fresh tasty apples for $5. Caffe Luna and Downtown Raleigh (yes, even you Sketchy Moore Square).
(15) Northpark. Northpark Set-up crew (of boys) who make me laugh and help me figure out what is wrong with my car. God. Sunny Sunday drives home. Rediscovering (Essentially thrift-shopping in) your own closet at home to replenish your wardrobe at school. Quiet time in the car to think about how thankful I am.
And this one is for the haters. I am thankful for thanksgiving.
Just checked my G-calendar. Only one meeting and one class tomorrow?! Really!?! I can't even remember the last time that happened. We'll I'm thankful for that too.
Time to get a jump start on this week, by going to bed early.
Give thanks. :]
