I'm not going to lie - I'm feeling very blah...In other words, I'm having a bad day. Nothing serious, just a bunch of little things that kept adding up, making me increasingly more annoyed as the day continued on. I really didn't want to write a post, and I'm not feeling thankful for much of anything right at this very moment. However, I'm already behind on this project and for the love of God, I have two jobs, a roof over my head and more material possessions than one person needs...surely I can come up with something, right?
I said a few of these posts may end up being about my undying love of yoga pants and gummy bears...but it just doesn't feel right to me at the moment. It hit me as I spilled a basket of tomatoes on the kitchen floor this evening (which, felt tragic to me today...sad, but true.) It's so easy to find things to be thankful for when everything in life is going well...it's much more difficult when you're having a rough day or going through a rough patch in general.
Sometimes, we can thank God (or Jesus, or Taco Cat or whatever it is you may believe in.) when the bad parts of life teach us a valuable lesson. But, what do you say, especially if you're not really learning a lesson or getting anything out of it? "Dear God, I'm so thankful I almost got into an accident this morning because some douche decided he couldn't wait to change lanes" or "Thank you Jesus, I managed to forget my debit card at home today!" No. Just no.
I have to admit, it felt good to get that rant out! As for what I'm actually thankful for today? I'm thankful that I work at the library and can easily check out anything my heart desires whenever I need to. I needed to get some books (non-fiction) for a project/thing I'm working on and it's so nice to just be at the library already. It makes things easy-peasy. Of course, I have much larger things to be thankful for at the library, but it was one of the few things that actually made me smile today. So there you have it.
