A Contented Smile . .

I’m satisfied with my accomplishments today. My health is improving.

I was up and emailing clients by Ten. Woo! Dad made breakfast, too. That was great.

He and I went to the auto parts store and purchased a tire patch kit, and various other gadgets we’d need to plug my tire. . . Spent a couple hours with him total- doing odds and ends with the car . .and I also bought him some Hazelnut Iced coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts.

Spent the rest of the day between the car, good conversations, and a few IM sessions with friends. Chris <3 and I had a really great text message exchange today, too. I’ll be seeing him SOOOON!!!!! (Less than 48 hours!)

Just a quick note re: my car. I purchased it from my sister in August of 2006– a little over a year ago. While cleaning it out today, I removed her stuff. What does this mean? For the first time in one year– I have the energy to be mostly “normal”. I cleaned out my car. . . and I’m not in the hospital with excruciating pain tonight. This is definitely a victory. I had the energy! I am so happy.

I didn’t go on my walk tonight– as I really busted ass with my car and spent most of the day on my feet. I’m content with today. Tonight, I’ll snuggle into my plaid wonderland with a smile on my face and a tiny whisper . . . “Well done.”

Really, who can’t laugh at this???

Last night . . something I really needed happened. I won’t dig too deeply, here, as writing would barely scratch the surface.

I finally had closure with my ex.

I never could quantify what precipitated my breakup with David, and it bugged me. Would I make the same inconspicuous mistake again? What if I run off this beautiful, amazing guy (Chris), too? Am I cursed with some form of relationship-screwing secret powers?

Nope! I’m fine. Great, in fact (according to David). He and I were always better friends than anything else, and I’m quite thankful that our friendship is genuinely restored.

Quick note- Facebook users– This is an imported note . .meaning . . It’s streamed from my real blog. :P Somebody believed I was writing articles about Chris that he couldn’t see . . because he doesn’t have a facebook acct. To the contrary, this is published on my public blog for the world to see. (Hello, world!)

I’ve been going on nightly walks, and I really appreciate the friends keeping me company via phone; Specifically Anthony, Kyle, and Jason. . . and of course, Chris. He’s been cheering me on about it and promises to join me when I’d like the company.

I’ll be leaving for Melbourne on after a doctor visit on Wednesday. They’re drawing blood to see where my iron levels are. Woo! Soon- I’ll be receiving treatment!

Little Things

LITTLE THINGS

Lord, in the little things, I pray,
The unrecorded, everyday,
Passing events, may I take joy.
May I have always a small-boy
Mind that can give itself to each
Moment and does not have to reach
Forever for what is not there,
But finds contentment anywhere;
For I would have no need of wings
But what the winged moment brings.

How few the triumphs or defeats
That the most noted person meets!
But every moment, thought by thought
And act by act, a life is wrought,
A life is lived—and I would learn
To live each moment in its turn.
Lord, in the little things, I pray,
The little acts of every day,
Let me find joy. Then I shall be
Contented with eternity.
