Five things I am grateful for (take 2)

This morning I woke up and lay in bed thinking well before the sun was even starting to poke its head out. They were sort of stressful thoughts about unpacked boxes and unfinished projects. Later (after uping and dressing) I was doing my scripture study in Preach My Gospel about diligent, but wasn't feeling so very diligent. When I went upstairs to awaken Mr. C and do some scripture study with him before heading off to work, he could immediately tell I was not having the greatest of mornings. He asked me to give him five things I was thankful for before going to work. I was silent.

I'm not going to lie, work wasn't great this morning either, but I think I can come up with five things now.

1. Jeremy unexpectedly picked me up from work. I was already halfway down the hill from the Adult Ed building when he sent me a little text turning me around. I do love walks and sunshine and 80 degree weather... but I so much rathered driving home with him.
2. As I look out my window right now there are bright neon spring leaves on all the trees. The very trees I have looked at all winter with long spindly bare branches. I love the florescent green of spring. It is so alive.
3. Jeremy worked all morning packing boxes. Most of our downstairs storage is packed away! I didn't even have to ask. I must have looked very stressed this morning, however.
4. I have a whole box of otter pops awaiting me. I don't know what the third trimester has done to me, but all I want is something cold in my mouth all day long. Otter pops are managing to hit the spot oh so nicely.
5. I have a whole two hours at home before I even have to think about going back to work. And then, when I do go back, it will be Thursday night. And that's the end of my work week folks. Hallelujah.

I hope that even if your day did not start out as nicely as you would like, it is starting to shape up as mine is :).

Love,
