I woke up today, got to hang with the greatest kids, watch them paint and learn. Great day, then I brought my Mom to have a cataract removed, hung out with her until she went in, read a magazine and waited. I have a ton of stress with housing issues, my parents being sick, my sister going through testing. Today I was driving my mother home and I got pulled over for speeding. So should I be angry? It is a ticket, my fault, my job to pay. Then I went to get the wheelchair out of my trunk just before bringing my Mom in the house, the trunk hits me in the head, I have a huge egg and blurry vision out of my left eye.
So how was my day?
My mother got through surgery fine, I spent time with her and she is still alive. I got to spend 6 hours with some of the greatest kids in the world. My day was pretty good. I am very blessed but sometimes we all get hit by the proverbial brick up side the head.
Today it's about slowing down. I would type more but the screen is getting blurry. ha ha
So how was your day?
Here is a challenge for everyone, For one week try and write five good things that happened that day and do not repeat them. So every day you shouldn't put, "I woke up, I kissed my family," try and think of something new everyday. If you can't do five, think of at least one. For one week, just try this.
So how was your day?
Oh fun a challenge lol :-)
