"I already told you that. You said you'd kill me first."
"I know. The offer still stands."
[I love my friends]
But sometimes, that's not enough.
“The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea”. -Isak Dinesen
Today was just one of those days. The days where you work all day, yet somehow you don't seem to complete anything. I made progress in several areas. Yet I completely finished nothing.
I can be thankful that I have the luxury of not finishing tasks. I can go to sleep in my comfortable bed, in the shelter of my house, and (hopefully) sleep peacefully until I wake up tomorrow. Then I can try again.
I can be thankful that I have access to medicine to help me somewhat comfortable when I am not feeling well.
I can be thankful that I have friends who will listen to me when I am frustrated, overjoyed, or just need to talk. Whether they agree, disagree, or even understand, they are there and willing to listen when I ask.
I can be thankful for my cats. I got their mother, Grace, at Church on a Sunday morning. I wasn't thrilled when she had two kittens. Little did I know Grace would get cancer, and I would need her babies to keep an eye on me. They remind me that affection is important. That the only necessities in life are food, water, shelter, and rest. Naps are underrated. Also, cats are great listeners. They don't always do what you ask, but they always listen. They are always aware of what you are saying, of what is going on around them.
Most importantly, I can be thankful that I have a [somewhat] dependable car that gets me where I need to be, and hold a decent amount of stuff. This will help me cross a few things off of my to-do list tomorrow.
I can be thankful for tomorrows.
"The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." -Isaiah 58:11
