Today was a day like no other.  In fact, it was one of the best days of my life!

No, I didn’t get engaged.  I didn’t have a baby.  I didn’t win the lottery.

My day was ok—BUT, I was different!  I was thankful…

5:30AM – My alarm clock goes off. I want to throw it across the room.

Then I’m thankful it rang--so I wouldn’t miss my presentation & chance for a raise.

6:45AM – I go to my car; my roommate parked behind me.  Ahhhh! 

I get to wake her up (paybacks)!  OK, I’m also thankful I have a supportive roommate to wish me well before my big day.

7:15AM – There’s an accident; the freeway’s a parking lot. I wish I was a bumper car to hit everyone around me.

Then I thank God that I wasn’t in an accident. 

8:45AM – I get to work; I’m nervous for my big meeting.

Then, I’m thankful I have a job. If I screw up and get fired—I’ll get to eat Fruit Loops, watch Oprah and just relax for awhile!

10:00AM – I blanked out, didn’t fully articulate what I wanted…

BUT, I’m thankful that it’s over.  And 5:00PM is only 7 hours away.

11:15AM – My boss said I did a great job!  Wow, guess I was too hard on myself.  Of course I’m thankful for that! (But…I was looking forward to Oprah).

12:30AM – I’m frustrated I have to work thru lunch!

Then I am thankful I even have food.  (And I just lost 2 lbs, so when I gain 10 tomorrow from stuffing my face I'll still fit into my pants).

2:00PM – I’m exhausted.

Then I'm thankful I'm not in college. I can go home in 3 hours and do whatever I want, even if it’s sitting on my butt and not writing a 20-pg paper on protons and neutrons.

3:00PM – My boss says I get a 15 min. break.  Um, “what can I do in only 15 mins????

Then, I remember the Treasure Box section of ChicBlvd.com!  I’ll…

  • Get encouragement from Lara.
  • Tell my sis about ChicFind (or try to win so I can give the DVDs to my niece for Christmas!)
  • Share Life Compass with my friends--especially Jessica who is in major debt!

And I’ll use the code favorite10 to get $10 off a purchase of $30 or more in the Boutique.

5:00PM – Darn, traffic.

But I won’t complain because…I’m on my way home!

7:00PMHe calls.  I’m excited. Then he says he just doesn’t feel that way.  I cry.

Then, I realize that I’m single and free!  I am thankful.

10:00PM – I’m thinking about the chaos tomorrow will bring, Thanksgiving.

Then I’m thankful someone else is making Thanksgiving dinner and all I'm expected to do is eat.  And of course, thankful that I have a family to spend it with and a God who takes care of us!

I have a lot to be thankful for.  Now, if I could only have that perspective EVERY day!

Until tomorrow…
