A little repetition never hurt, right?

Day Sixty-nine: Jason makes me laugh. I really appreciate his sense of humor. I am thankful for it.

I think I might be thankful for it again...I try not to repeat on here, but it's my blog and my thankfulness thing so I can be thankful twice right? I make the rules!

There are so many things worth being thankful for, though, that I'll add another just to prove it.

I had a good day today. I wasn't sure it was going to be a good day. It started okay. The headache and visual fogginess from the weekend migraine seemed to be mostly gone. Mom came to take care of Ariel. I went to class. Class went well, but all through it my vision seemed to be playing games with me. I just couldn't focus all that well. After class, I called Jason wondering if I should just break down and go see a doctor. We thought I should, but I don't have a regular doctor so it isn't that easy. I came home, played a little with mom and Ariel, called a doctor and verified it indeed "isn't that easy", and went to lunch. I decided to try to work some in Jason's office. The fog seemed to lift a little.

("Fog" is the best way I can describe how I was feeling earlier today. I can see clearly. I can think clearly. But something between thinking and seeing just didn't feel connected completely. Like there was a loose connection that occasionally goes out, but just as quickly returns. No...I just don't know how to describe it. Must stop trying. Just think "fog" - see clearly right where you are focusing or standing, but not so well outside that little area unless you really try...but in a thinking way more than a seeing way. Better? Yeah, not so much.)

Anyhow, after work I came home and found a very tired, grumpy Ariel who went right down for a nap. Her grumpies rubbed off on me for a little while. However, when she woke up things seemed better for us both. Jason came home. We ate dinner - pizza and smoothies. We played and played and played some more. It was a really great evening with very little fog, very little grumpies, and lots of fun and smiles had by all.

Thank you, God, for taking what seemed like a not so good day and turning it good. I am thankful for the constant variation in life. Thank you for making it that way. Thank you for moods. Sometimes they can be so bad and negative, but at least they are malleable. The good moods are just as good and amazing...better really...as the bad ones are bad. Totally worth it to get to the good stuff.

And, seriously, thank you for Jason's sense of humor (mostly...you know, when my mood is cooperative).

Thank you, God, for working in my life in so many ways I am unaware of, but giving me glimpses here and there.




What's this about? I decided on my birthday to make a commitment to being intentionally thankful. I challenged myself to post one thing I am thankful for everyday this year.
