It's the Little Things

Happy rainy Monday everyone! Hopefully the Fall Break hangovers aren’t exceptionally bad. I wish I was still on break, but today hasn’t been super horrible for a Monday. As I was sitting in class today, listening to everyone complain about having to be back, I started to think that my day wasn’t going so bad. Sometimes you just have to look at the little things and find the joy there. Take today for instance. The good things that have happen to me:
• My 1st class was canceled, which meant even though I got up and got dressed for nothing, I was able    
          to spend an hour hanging out in the ag spa with my PR besties.
• I’m wearing a cute new outfit that only cost me $10.
• I bought the new Taylor Swift album with all the songs I’ve fallen in love with over the last couple of  
          weeks.
• Chocolate covered pretzels were only $1 at Smiths.
• I might get off work early tonight since my last work class is taking their midterm.

Everything on that list is pretty simple, but they’ve all made my day. I think sometimes we get caught up in the negative and what we, as poor and starving college students, don’t have. We should look for the good things and celebrate them. Maybe then, even with the gray skies, we’ll be happy. And isn’t joy better to share than negativity? Plus if we look at all the good things of today and the last weekend, we can handle the fact that it’s supposed to snow on Wednesday.

Happy Monday everyone!
