Today was beautiful. Last night I stayed out way past my bedtime enjoying the wonderful adventure known as friendship; against my better judgment I decided to stay out past midnight even though work starts at 6am. I’ve done this before and I knew I would survive, but the lack of sleep usually causes me to have to endure through an achy, sick feeling for 8 hours of work followed by the sleeping away of my whole evening when I get home. But as I said today was beautiful.
When my alarm was telling me to get up at 5 I felt better than expected; as I got out of bed I was in fact achy, however I believe that may have been the result of the game we were playing at midnight and not the fact that it was midnight when we were playing it, I proceeded to eat breakfast and was leaving for work earlier than I do most days. As I arrived at work I was yawning but did not feel sick, in the next few minuets I found that two of the girls I work with called in sick and we would be running a person short for the day which could have been awful but turned out great and our line ran better than it has in quite some time, then at break one of my co-workers gave me a nutty bar, I was very touched by the gesture, I love nutty bars, just about anything chocolate and peanut butter actually, it was wonderful.
Long story short work went really well and there was no sick feeling to endure for 8 hours just some slight tiredness but I consider that a victory. Victory number two for the day came when I got home from work because even though I’m sure I could have gone right to sleep I was able to resist, accomplishment for the afternoon and evening include, prayer time, bible time, getting my laundry done for the week and reading a good 7-8 chapters in a really good book, complimented by a simple dinner of two cheese tortillas which seemed to fit this day perfectly. It is now about 9 o’clock and I’m ready to head off to bed, but I really wanted to write so there it is the only other thing to say is that for this moment I am more than thankful for God showing me the simple beauty of this day and I pray He dose the same for you.
