Bad Days = Great Prayers

Yesterday, I made a huge revelation. As my pastor would say, "it may be as simple as sand," but life truly is what you make of it. Life is about what and who you appreciate. I actually found this really cool poster on Pinterest a while ago, and it brings up a great question I think we should all ask ourselves.

Very true. What if I wake up tomorrow and only the things I really appreciate in life are the only things in my life again? Do I thank God enough for the blessings He has placed in my life?

For instance, I didn't have the best day yesterday. Matt and I were not exactly getting along well and I was upset for most of the morning. I met a friend for coffee and backed into the front end of someone's parked car when I left the meeting. Then, while working on a project for my Consumer Behavior class, I was nearly finished, when my clumsiness took over and I spilled my open Diet Coke all over the project. I spent two extra hours finishing my mistake.

Even through it all, I was in a fantastic mood yesterday evening. Matt came over after he got off work to see me. He even greeted me with frozen yogurt from work (I know, he's a keeper, right?) But when I saw him, it was literally like the beginning of my day didn't happen. I had forgotten all of the things that put me in a foul mood earlier when I saw him.

I definitely treasure Matt, especially how he changes my perspective on life. I realize there so many things I don't thank God for each and every day. One day, if only the things I thanked Him for were the only things left in my life, I would like to think I would still have all of the people in my life that I do today.

I definitely know what/who I'm thanking God for tonight. :)
