There is a hint of chill in the air. Just the slightest bit. It's one of those days that you feel comfortable wearing your jeans and carrying your coat. One of those days where you look around and feel amazed by all the colors in the trees. I don't know what it was about today but I've just been very happy. I started off my morning with a "No"...I called a place in town to know if I could use some of their equipment for a personal project, I offered to pay, but they still declined. Now I have one more place I will call, I have to keep this top secret because it's part of a project I'm working on for Brett :)
Even with the start of a "No" I was ready to get to class and work with my kids on their first day of science. We made some cornstarch mixture and it, of course, didn't turn out as planned but it still went well. Tomorrow will need a few adaptations. I was walking out of class and headed to my eye doctors appointment. They told me I had 20/20 vision, nothing was wrong but I still had to pay a pretty big check. All of these things would normally set me off to a bad day, but it was like God tapped me on the shoulder and whispered "You're alive, act like it" that made me realize that He was right.
I am alive, my cousin text me today to tell me the sex of her twins. I am alive, and should be thankful that I'm educated and healthy. I am alive, I have people that love me and check up on me and help me. I am alive, and need to treasure that each and every day.
Lately I have been focusing on how I'll be happy when I'm home for Thanksgiving. I'll be happy when I'm done with this semester. Be happy when I'm done with my surgery. Happy when I move home after this school year. When Brett proposes. But I've realized now that I'm happy now! I'm happy that Brett and I are together (even if I don't have the ring). I'm happy my mom has the time to call me (even if she is busy taking care of Grams). I'm happy! :)
