what a difference a day makes

this morning feels brighter. i'm breathing again. i don't feel as flooded inside as i did yesterday. yesterday, i found myself in a stall in the ladies room at work in tears. today, i'm smiling. i think God has a way of massaging one's soul as we sleep. even though i didn't have any inspirational dreams that i remember (i had some very weird ones though..) i think God must have touched me in some way because i feel much more at peace today. i just hope it lasts! i have to learn to have peace no matter what is going on around me.

my enhanced mood may also have something to do with a very sweet email my stepmother sent me this morning. it helped me to feel that at least someone sees good in me and loves me and enjoys being around me. it was such an unexpected message, but so right on time. i think God knew that i needed to hear/read words like that right about now, and he put in on her heart to write that to me. God has a way of sending people your way right when you need them, to uplift you, to inspire you. that's awesome :-)

plus, i'm eating some DELICIOUS black bean salsa with these black bean tortilla chips (i know it's not even 10am so i have no idea why i'm eating chips and salsa this early! but we had them left over here at work from this party we had last week). they are so good it's not even funny. good food is uplifting too, LOL. i better take it easy though...i'm not trying to get all chunky in the new year...

Coolbabe, you are awesome. thanks for your encouragement and empathy. even though we are pretty much strangers, it feels like i know ya! if i ever make it to London and you haven't relocated, i'm looking you up! :-)
