last night after i finished my workout, i had a few minutes to talk to a friend who happened to be there at the same time. it was one of those incredibly short conversations (we’re talking under 10 minutes) with a lot of information crammed into it and that you walk away from thinking about all the good things in life and how blessed you are.
sometimes (more often than not) it’s really hard for me to see how wonderfully blessed i have been. it’s so much easier to focus on the negative: how boring my classes are, how i don’t see certain people often enough, how tired i am of being alone…
today, however i’m choosing this: i have been blessed by the opportunity to expand my knowledge and earn a master’s degree, i have been blessed by a life full of amazing friendships, i have been blessed with the gift of time to figure out who i am…. i have been blessed.
thanks for the reminder. I’m not sure your post did for me quite what your conversation did for me… but I know it’s true and I need to remember that— when I have NO free time to work on who I am… that this is a season, a season that I can never have back again. So I need to enjoy every breath, every day…. and every NAP!!!
love!
err. correction— what your conversation did for YOU.
