This past week has been a little "rough" around the edges. I've had some great moments, some not so good moments, and a lot of moments smack dab in the middle. Sometimes I realize that I get so caught up in the negative things in my life that I pass up the happy moments so I've decided to make an effort to acknowledge the good things in life. :)
1. My friends who support me through thick and thin, stay up late to chat, grab coffee (or bubble tea) just for fun, call just to say hi, etc.
2. A car. It is frigid out there and it would suck if I had to get up super early to walk to class through the snow and blistery winds.
3. The opportunity to pursue my dreams of education. I'm excited for the chance to work with EI students tomorrow and eventually work one-on-one with a friend to develop better communication devices for students requiring Special Education services.
4. Professors who encourage me and support me. I'm lucky that they give me my space but also take a personal interest in my well being. I knew I loved this place for a reason...
5. My fish (don't laugh!) that give me the entertainment of fighting with each other as well as calming me down. Have you ever watched a fish tank? Their addicting. Just sayin'...
Most of all, I'd like to end with an excerpt of a song by Travis Tritt:
And it's a great day to be alive!
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes.
There's some hard times in the neighborhood,
But why can't every day be just this good?
