Today started out like most days for the past couple of months. I woke up with the world on my shoulders. Made myself get out of bed even though it was so hard to do. Thought about how much I didn't want to go to work and how I have really messed up and how things could be so much better if not for my bad choices. Got to work, put on my happy face. Ended up crying to my boyfriend on the phone, tried not to but couldn't. (He really is a saint for putting up with me.) But then half way through the day, I decided to sketch out a budget. And you know my budget wasn't that terrible. I mean, there will be nothing extravagant for me this year, minimalism is my goal for this year. No shopping, a lot less eating out, no travel, nothing expensive! I have figured out that I MIGHT, let me emphasize MIGHT be able to pay off my car at the end of the year! (Cross your fingers for me) What a burden that will be off of me. That was the first bright spot in the day. I called my boyfriend and told him the good news. (He really is going to get tired of me calling him to tell him random things.) Then a couple hours later I got an email from Avalon offering me a free drink that evening! And you know what I had already made plans with one of my friends to go to Avalon that night. I exclaimed after reading that email "God does like me occasionally!" I know my co-workers probably thought something really wonderful had happened to me because of how excited I was. Funny how a free drink can make your day. The rest of the day just seemed brighter after all that.
I don't know what tomorrow will bring but I am thankful that today wasn't too bad of a day :-)
Sounded like your day started off a little rough but then ended extremely well. Very happy to hear! You've gotta appreciate the small things! The changes you're making for 2012 are paying off already. With that free drink! I'll keep my fingers crossed that your car will be paid off. I hope you have a great day Sarah. You rock!!
ReplyDeleteI am with you on this, I vote anytime we wanna eat out, we should use Groupons :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jose! I really am a person to appreciate the simple things. :-) I appreciate you keeping your fingers crossed for me! I really hope it works out that I can pay off my car because that would be such a huge burden off me. Hope you had a lovely day yourself!
ReplyDeleteYes Theresa! We need to keep our eyes out for the good groupons :-) I love a good deal.
