I don't know... maybe the rain makes me think deep thoughts. It rained downtown today, and I guess this post is just about how my day was. It's not very deep. I started to think about how thankful I am, and especially now that God has opened my eyes again to the beauty and the blessings that I have in my life.
I'm thankful that I have a beautiful office. I have a skylight that looks down two stories; my office is the only one directly under it. When it rains it pitter patters on the glass and yet I don't get sleepy. Rather, my creative side comes out and I get maddd amounts of work done! And it's cold out. Cold enough to leave my bedroom window open; when I sleep, part of my arm stays out of the blankets, and I love that cold breeze that I can feel. I had lunch at my favorite French restaurant; the cafe has windows on three sides, and it was so enchanting to watch the people come and go in the rain. Such drab colors, though! I commented to my lunch companion that Floridians are never prepared for cold weather, and it shows: Most people looked like they dragged their jackets and coats from the back of their closets. That is when it is super fun to wear my bright, fire-red jacket. Tomorrow I am wearing a bright green shirt with a peacock on it, and my gold tall boots! There are only a few days out of the year that it is cold enough to wear them.
The day went by fast. I'm learning some new things and having some new challenges. My job has changed, somewhat, and I cannot help but feel that the new challenges are stretching me in ways I've never felt before, and in a good way. As I write this, my sweet little fluffy dog jumped in bed next to me. She is somewhat perturbed because she got into my purse and was starting to chew a piece of Orbit White gum before I told her to spit it out.
I'm thankful that God has been faithful to me, coming and picking me up when I thought He wasn't hearing me. I'm thankful that I have a future, wherever I will be. I'm thankful that I still believe in the things that have been so harshly hidden, and although I cannot see what lies ahead, I know I am stronger because of this. I must believe that whatever has been given to me, whatever has been taken away, was maybe never mine in the first place.
Feeling Thankful.
More tomorrow. I have an idea, and I just might write a book about it :)
