Wednesday (37) REST. I still had a couple of checkouts to do today, but it was nothing like as hectic as the past week has been, so that was a very welcome break. It's nice to have my life back now and have some time to FINALLY clean up my house, cook, and do all the other things I've been wanting to do but haven't had the time for.
Thursday (38) The internet. It makes turning in applications SO much easier! Especially when you can just copy & paste stuff straight across so you don't have to actually spend the time typing things up. =) Plus, the internet allows me to do all sorts of other stuff I like to do. woot!
Friday (39) An interview. It's been so long since I've actually gotten an interview for a job I've applied for. So it was really nice to actually get a call to schedule an interview. I think it went okay...I guess we'll see in a week or so. I did my best and I know the Lord was helping me, so now all I can do is wait. Hopefully things will turn out!
Saturday (40) New clothes! (And an awesome aunt (how's that for alliteration? lol) that brought them to me!) A couple of weeks ago, Shade had a mega blowout sale in Tri-Cities, so I requested that my mom go and see what they had. Mega good deals is what they had! I got a bunch of cami's for less than half of what they'd regularly cost! And I didn't have to pay for shipping! I am uber excited and I hope they last me until Shade comes back (and they MUST come back! I'm keeping the hope alive)
Sunday (40+) I would be very remiss if I didn't mention my gratitude for my Savior. He has done so much for me and He is always there for me. If I fall, He'll help pick me up and get me through the rough times. His arms are always stretched out toward me, even when I turn my back on Him. I couldn't ask for anything more.
Trying to develop an attitude of gratitude these past 40 days has been an amazing growth experience for me. I have learned so much about myself and have had my eyes opened to the MANY blessings I have. It has helped me be so much more pleasant to be around, I've had a better attitude, and life hasn't seemed so hard. I am so thankful for this experience and for all it has taught me. Here's to not letting this be the end of my attitude of gratitude!
Enjoyed your comments! I think conquering ourselves is the hardest of all.
