March Comes in Like a Lion...Out Like a Lamb

The last few weeks have been incredibly stressful for me. I just feel overwhelmed. March has not necessarily been my favorite month so far. I have too much time to think...I think!

I have decided to dedicate all of the positives that happened today:

1. I received a letter in mail that my power would be out from 11pm to 6am yesterday. I have to start getting ready at 5am so I did not know what I would do...and all my new batteries would not work in my alarm clock. To my surprise I had power this morning & my coffee even made - right on time!

2. The weather was incredible this afternoon. I was able to go walking with my cousin to get ready for summer.

3. I had downtime today at work. I started decluttering all my files (on the computer) and consolidating into certain folders. Also deleted unused/outdated materials. Seems minimal, but I do not have time during the day for great organizational skills.

4. I realized how much I truly love my boyfriend and I want to be with him forever. He is perfect for me and treats me like an angel. I just know that it is meant to be - the first time I have really, really know.

5. I was able to stick to my portion controlled diet that I started back yesterday. The key is oatmeal for breakfast!

6. The work received a cool point today. We now have a Wii gaming system in the breakroom so a bowling tourney could break out at any time.

7. I am going to get to go to Dallas, TX in early June for work. I have always at least wanted to lay my eyes on TX (they say everything's bigger there)

8. I discovered officially hotels.com. I know FOR SURE if I ever need to book a flight or room - that's where I am going to find it. AMAZING deals (no scams - I actually called the 800 number to find out what they actually do)

9. Holder is trying to get a one bedroom apt in Birmingham! YAY! It will still be close to school for him and I can actually visit (right now I have to have him as an escort if I leave his room, have to check in and out, and I can only stay with him 4 times per month) Now I can see him WHENEVER I WANT! Peace and quiet is actually on its way.

10. I have a family, BF, and friends that care about me very much. I have a good job, a roof over my head, food in my belly, running water, air conditioning, and most of all GOD'S GRACE to let me into the pearly gates.

I needed that. I feel much better.
