I just started work again at a job that makes me cry. I've been trying to be really positive and remember I'm only working for a short time and getting the money I need for school. But the memories of working this job have swept over me again. All the weeks I came home just to sleep, no time for friends, doing a week's worth of cleaning in a night, exhausted and homesick. Plus I have an interview for a program I've been trying to get into for 2 years and am stressed out of my mind about it.
This morning, as I left my sleeping roommates enjoying their weekend, I walked into a cold, windy, overcast morning. My heart was heavy knowing I had a long day ahead of me and weather that looked how I felt. Rushing to catch the train my eyes were drawn downward. Newly unfolding daffodils were smiling up at me. They were the first flowers I'd seen this spring and what a vision in yellow they were! I smiled back at them as I wished them good morning and went a little happier on my way. It was a reminder that even though there are storm clouds and wind, life always has beauty and hope of new beginnings to offer us. Tonight I'm thanking God for daffodils.
Naomi,
ReplyDeleteI want you to know that I am always here to talk to on those bad days. Remember that it is 'only for a moment', and when you are done you will have accomplished one more thing and be that much better off. Going home will be a good reward.
You will do great on your interview!
You're in my prayers!
Same here, I got your back girl, give me a shout anytime! And like Diana, I know you will do great in everything you do! But in the meantime I hope you keep finding those little joys in your life!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
