Maybe it was the foot of snow that had fallen overnight. Maybe it’s that I’m tired and it’s Wednesday and I just can’t bear these last few work days before it’s the weekend. Maybe it’s that my dog woke me up on several occasions last night because he had an upset tummy and needed to get let out.
I don’t know what it was… but this morning when I woke up I was miserable!
I grouched and grumped because I just couldn’t style my hair.
I stubbed my toe (for the zillionth time) on the leg of the bed.
I forgot to do the laundry so I was scraping the bottom of my drawers to put together an outfit.
I ate oatmeal for breakfast and I forgot how oatmeal does not keep me full through the morning, so I was starving as it was time to leave for work.
I had to trek out into the miserable, blowing, snow and then fight with the windshield wipers on my car because the stupid things were making my visibility even worse!
The car ride was treacherous and I loathed every other driver on the road.
Miserable! Miserable! Miserable!
Then something happened. As I pulled into my parking spot I took a deep breath and thought for a moment….
It’s just snow. I’m lucky I have a car and that I can listen to music and be warm in my commute. I’m healthy. I’m physically able to do so much. I have a beautiful family. I have a wonderful husband. I am fortunate to have a job that I love to go to. I’m fortunate that I have a job! I have clothes to keep me warm. I have a cozy home. I am pretty damn fortunate.
So it was at that moment I made the decision to smile and have a good day. And a good day it was.
I can relate to this this morning I was so tired my son woke up at 5:30a.. I wanted to die lol… but you have to look at the bright side and count your blessings always. Great post.
