Winning

Sometimes you just have to soak in the little victories.

When you have a big assignment looming over your head all day, it can be really hard to enjoy your day.
When you just got back from your first break of school since September, it can be really hard to enjoy your day.
When it's a Monday back from school, it can be really hard to enjoy your day.

I had a great day.


I did have that paper looming over my head all day, so at 3 I finally sat down an wrote my paper like a man. 4 hours later, and possibly a few hairs pulled from my skull, I had 5 1/2 solid pages about Inception written down and ready to go! Bring on Tuesday!! I'm ready for whatever you've got! This was a Win.

I went to Lowe's Extreme Air Sports today. It's one of those tumbling places with the trampolines and the foam pits and what not. I nailed a couple of back flips and decided that was enough awesome for one day. Ethan did his first back flip as well, he's growing up so quickly.  This was a Win.

I didn't have a hectic day which is unusual for a Monday.  I managed to make it to all of my classes on time, my laptop never died unexpectedly, and I never felt rushed today! This was a Win.

Finally, I went online to see how little money I have, fully expecting to see about 10 dollars.  To my surprise, I still had 150 and I don't get paid til Friday! I checked to see that my tithing check had gone through and everything! I had 150 legitimate dollars to my name! This was definitely a Win.



All of these little victories culminated to a surprisingly good day. I was honestly dreading to the core the fact that I had to go back to school today. I was also really stressed about that paper I had to write. I think I had those little victories so I would feel better tackling that paper.  It's funny how such simple moments where things go our way can make such a difference for us!  

Not much happened to report, just won today, and I won a lot.
