Isn't it though? I feel like every time my day is made it is by something small and relatively insignificant. Let me clarify. Today, for example, I have been rather stressed throughout the morning. Instead of sleeping in until it is time to get ready for work I decided to get up and get going today. Things on my list? Oil change: As it turns out I am irresponsible and somewhere around 10,000 miles past due. This part of the morning went relatively well and the man accidentally gave me a discount so that was a plus. The next items on my list included mailing something at the post office, picking up a check, and faxing something to the insurance people.I am not a fan of insurance people and their butting into my life and requesting top secret documents of mine. Either way, they are the boss and I am their slave. All of these very boring tasks are ones that I do not like to participate in, and I ran out of time to complete them all before heading to work at NGV. I was pretty bummed because it is so very rare that I get the inspiration to run errands and check things off my list! Lucky for me, little things keep happening to improve my outlook on this previously hectic day.
Examples:
1. Ry-Guy going to fax my info for me. He is not a little thing so much, but its the little thing he did that helped me in a big way.
2. Pita Pit has Pepper Jack cheese! This is a new development in my life! I have been hoping that we would intercept this delicacy at some point before I graduate, and the Pita Peeps have shown favor towards me once again and made it happen. So very glad I didn't make a PB&J today. Philly w/ Pepper Jack > Philly without Pepper Jack
It is only 2:00 p.m. so I only have those two major events to brag about right now. I am so thankful for these tiny baby things that just remind me to stop worrying and stressing and enjoy the cookies from Potbelly (my snack stop for today).
A list of some of my other favorite little things that make days!
- Front row parking spots. What a score.
- Lovely, wordy voicemails from Crazy Dixie. Today she called me "Whitley Granddaughter beautiful thing". Never bad to hear.
- HeyTell messages from CarlsBad
-Free Iced Tea from Potbelly (this was yesterdays day maker)
- Hasting's Rental Service: such nice peeps and such lovely low prices. And you can rent as many as you want! (take that Blockbuster!)
- Phone convos with friends: yesterday= Jennifer, today= Nicci
- When my favorite bloggers update (many of you are big time slacking, by the way).
- Encouraging words from bosses
- Finding new recipes. Trying one out tonight... I will let you guys know how that goes.
What are some little things that make your day? (Yes I want to know, so leave a comment!)
Bye, say bye and have a blessed day :)
