Ever just wake up cranky? I had trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep last night. Therefore, I woke up with a headache. The headache is probably also related to sinus issues as our heater has been running nearly nonstop since this winter storm hit. I dragged out of bed 45 minutes after my alarm and let the dog out. I cringed realizing we had not bought enough breakfast groceries. I sat down with a cup of coffee and sighed. But for the first time in a long time, instead of moaning, "Ugh, this is gonna be a bad day," I just heaved a sigh and felt some peace settle over me. I had a rough night, but thank God, I woke up to face another day. I have a gaggle of wonderful family and friends I don't deserve. I have a job and benefits. I have a warm house in which to live and food to eat (there is stuff to eat, just not what I wanted for breakfast). I even have more than I need so I can have a laptop and TV and a fancy schmancy phone. I support two cats and a dog (all of which are rotten - and true, my roommate probably pays more for the cats than I do). I have been so blessed to live in a country where I can be free to express my beliefs and religion. Our country has its problems, but we are still free. And I am still proud and blessed to be an American.
I woke up cranky, and God just wouldn't let me stay that way. He reminded me that He has blessed me and to be thankful. And I am. I really am!
