My thoughts from today (actual date: 4/26/10)

I actually intend for this blog to be a little more thoughtful than so far. Bear with me. :)
So I went to class today at 8:30am. I have a jogging class at that time. Then after another class directly following jogging I walk to work.
It was raining.
Flash back to last night. I had to watch a movie and write a critique about it. The movie I had rented was over a week late because we sold our TV because, for one we don't really need it, and we also can really use the money for when we move to Columbia. (Can-of-worms of another post.)
So anyway, I ended up staying at my in-law's house to use their DVD player and didn't get to bed until about 5:30am this morning. I grabbed an umbrella without looking at it and went.
Flash forward.
It was raining.
I opened the umbrella and set out. Shortly after I realized that it was a Corvette umbrella. My wife's mother is a HUGE Corvette fan and I definitely should not have grabbed that umbrella.
Not a huge deal but a bummer.
Later at work I was asked by my coworker how I thought the day was going to go. I thought about it. Yeah, I had had some negative things happen so far, but I felt alright. I told him the day would be average. Not great, but not bad. Everything would have its balance.
And that seemed to hold true for a while. I worked and it wasn't too busy which was sweet but then tips were bad so that evened it out, etc.
And then Carli came into the coffee shop.
Call me corny, cliche, whatever. But here are the facts.
My day flipped.
It was not an average day. She walked in and I found myself smiling. The circumstances of the day had not changed. But looking at the person who completes my very soul was enough to brighten my entire attitude.
And since then my day has been great. Every negative thing I am able to surpass if I let myself. I am very overwhelmed with school and finances but that has slipped past my spirit today in light of my wife.
I guess I just wanted to write this in appreciation. I know that I at least do not show my appreciation as often as I should or could and so I feel like I should do so when I get the opportunity.
Thank all of you non-existent readers for listening to my thoughts.
I think I liked writing them down.
