ungrateful gratefulness

Ever have one of those weeks where each day seem's to get progressively worse....yah. that was my week last week.  It started out with catching a terrible cold.  Not being able to breath.  Having to carry my own box of tissues like a crazy since the University does not provide tissues in the classroom...then having to write a needs assessment and lit review for a class but having no motivation or energy to do it because I had used all my energy blowing my nose a million times...then waking up the next day to find a zit on my eyelid....when were zit's allowed in that region of my face!!!! Then the cold got worse.... woke up the next day with 4 canker sore's (talk about painful!)....and then I still had to go to school, internship, and work the entire week...then went to visit my parents but ended up getting no rest because I had to help them move...to come home on Monday and find out through an email that I had another part of my proposal and still had no energy to do it........and now it's Tuesday of the following week.

As I sit here and reread this post I notice how much time I just spent ranting and raving about how bad things are instead of focusing on the positive's of this past week.  Even though I had a cold at least I am alive, had money for cold med's, and a warm bed.  Even though I had a zit on my eyelid I did have glasses to help cover the monstrosity.  Even though I had to participate in all my usual activities at least I got to do something I love...and even though I had to help my parents move at least I got to see my parents.

Here's to colds, canker-sores, zits, and no rest, taking the time to vent, and realizing how lucky I am to have colds, canker-sores, zits. and no rest.
