It's exhausting today

Wow...I did not go to bed at a smart time last night. Since I got to sleep in I had such a nice day...and stayed up until 11:30...on a work night! Whoops. It was great when I was younger and single. I could pull that off. But today I am a walking zombie.

It seems that this time of year can be a tough time for people to seek out their joy. We are tired, we have our bills from the holidays, and we have had enough of the dark winter weather. I don't know about anyone else, but I NEED spring to get here. I need to be able to go outside and play with B. To just take a walk at lunch alone...spring needs to get here!!

But...I am here to find the joy in today. That in itself is a blessing. On a day where I want to just be a grump because I am tired, it's cold, and the weather for the rest of the week is gross to put it politely...it's pretty awesome to have my mind be focusing on the joy I can find today. It's what makes me so happy I decided to do this blog for Lent. It is changing my perspective, even when it would be easy to just be a grump.

So my joy for today, is the cozy of my office at work. I get a lot of sunlight through the window in my office, so I shut the door and let the cozy fill me up each day. While it might not be the smartest idea when I am so tired, it really is nice. It makes a Monday a little bit better ;). Today is going to be the nicest day of the week, and by letting the sunshine in my office to wrap me in it's rays..I get to enjoy it.

So enjoy today. Through your exhaustion, through whatever troubles you have, find something to be joyful about. It will turn your day around in more ways than you could imagine. For now...I'm going to enjoy the sunshine that we have just for today :)
