thank you x3

I wrote three thank you cards today in an effort to be more thankful. Thinking about the nice things these people had done for me allowed me a sort-of giddiness that continued for the rest of the morning. If I hadn't written those cards, I most likely wouldn't have remembered the kindness that was given to me.
I now say, "Goodbye giddiness". It's 10PM and I'm tired. This weekend was no weekend, and a dread is beginning to settle in my chest about tomorrow. My alarm will go off before 3AM so I can be at work on time, and I won't walk through the front door of my home until after 10PM. I'll probably have more homework to finish before Tuesday, and won't be able to do it in the morning bacause my alarm will threaten my life at the same time. How am I going to be thankful for this Monday when everything I do is labor at things I don't enjoy one bit?
Here's my best idea, a list of things to be thankful for tomorrow:
1. That I have a job, and I know it benefits people every day.
2. I get to see customers who care about me.
3. I work with some people who encourage, stimulate, and care about me.
4. Oh yes, I have a vehicle that allows me to work farther from home.
5. I don't have any homework that is due in my first class, and it is actually enjoyable to witness the unique personalities of all the theatre students.
6. I have a long enough break in between two classes that will allow me to eat my lunch in my new favorite spot.
7. I'll have remembered my lunch. This may not be true... I'll let you, or me, know.
8. I'll be wearing a new shirt tomorrow! I can say "Yay"! "Double yay" to this because I bought it really cheap!
9. God still loves me even though I've been a grumbling monster.

I'm sure I could continue, but my pillow is asking to see my face up close.
