the glad game

while i wasn't thrilled about starting classes early this morning, i asked God to help me find things to rejoice in today.
and what a wonder-he did!

some of the blessings of today-
wearing my cute plaid jumper
ribbons in my hair
feeling excitement about the semester
banana nut muffins
reading a love story as part of my bible reading for the day
walking to class with jodi
smiles and hugs with nursing students after 3 weeks apart
taking my computer out of my sleeve
meeting sophomore nursing students
all my textbooks coming in the mail
seeing friends at the mailroom
a cozy nap under piles of blankets
reading and laughing over the first two chapters of the hobbit while i ate lunch
sauteed mushrooms
thinking about australia
martha on my couch
planning room-mate dinner
e-mails and facebook messages
listening to sara groves
key reports with kyle
bryan's good-bye party
sitting by rob during catch phrase
and preparing my first meal in my new crockpot:
yay for soup tomorrow!
