Day Ten
What am I grateful for today? To be honest, today I am sort of bumming out. I'm feeling a little bit mopey, a little bit insecure. I feel like if I started waxing poetic about something that it might feel forced. I like to keep things genuine, as this 30 day project seems to be turning into a diary of sorts.
Here's how I feel this morning. I woke up later than I had planned, which always puts a damper on things. Waking up to the day already running late makes you feel like defeat is just around the corner. Anyway, I tried to shake it off with hot coffee, a quick breakfast, and throwing myself into work. But then I spilled the coffee and burnt my bagel. I find no relief from the gloom in my email either, or even in long term projects. Everything today seems frustrating, harder than it should be.
How easy it would be to let the haze of mope envelop me. I could just call out sick and lay in bed counting the imperfections in myself and in my life, but where would that get me? I would be in the same place tomorrow, now wouldn't I? So in the spirit of this challenge I must find a silver lining to this cloud called Thursday. But what could it possibly be? As I am typing the answer has come.
Friday.
