1. Had a good night's sleep. Coming from a long day yesterday, this was very good for me. Even though I didn't get a lot of hours in it was definitely quality sleep. I think this had much to do with the last item of yesterday's post, don't you think? :)
2. Got a message from my mom checking up on me. My mom's still away and she won't be back for a few more days. Even at 31, its nice to hear your mother check up on you to see if you're alright. I know she can't give me the solution to my office workload or the traffic or help me clean my house but checking up on me does make me feel good. Especially when you know she's checking up on you from halfway across the world.
3. Spent most of the day out of the office. Ah yes, today was spent outside the confines of my little cubicle. Although it was in a fairly dated hotel, the fresh atmosphere (of the 80's), and its very close proximity to my house, and the better-than-your-office-cafeteria-food did it for me. You know what, I should really be thankful even just for working in my office-- its not hot like field, there is no corruption like *insert big government office here*, and people are generally helpful. So today was a big plus on top of the great blessing it is to work where i do!
4. Got to visit my old office. Got the chance to pass by my old office today to drop off some stuff for my friends there. The guards were really nice letting me in and allowing me to park and I ran into an old team mate and my old boss. I had a short chat with my old boss and it was nice hearing that the year has been OK for her. We caught up on a few things and I remembered how we worked well together a few years back and how our work was one of the best stuff we did in out careers. I landed my job today because of what I went through with her and I'm glad we're still friends and that she and the rest of the team, seem to be doing fine.
5. Heard just what I needed to hear through a talk I attended. Today was long and very testy. I was late for the talk so I hurried to find my spot in the room. I haven't been on the high I was on last month and I've been searching for some inspiration in these times where time goes so fast and my day seems to take forever to end and yes, God's place in my life or at least in my schedule seems to become the one that is moved around a lot. Tonight we heard a talk from one of the elders in our community and he spoke of this year's direction. I was so hit / moved / touched / inspired / singled-out / liberated / energized by his talk that all my questions were answered. He simply reminded us of where God should be in our life. That we should always seek Him desperately in all things. That we should remember that we depend on Him for everything. And we should never get so full of ourselves and our worldly preoccupations to give our God less than our best and our all. And by following that, I will never rant about how bad my life is. That's His promise and I'm glad that I can bring that to the bank.
