Maybe it’s just me, but do you ever have those times where you just get tired of life . . . sick of where you are, frustrated by your surroundings, missing “normalacy,” etc? That definitely happens on the race, especially when you have been doing this for 8 months. When those types of moments hit, whether on the race or at home, I like looking through my happy journal and thinking of things that make me smile. This list might not make everyone smile, but here is a quick list of things that have brought me joy recently:
having a ceiling fan
spicy food
ice cream
Modern Family
when a song pops up on shuffle that I’ve been wanting to hear
a real shower (might be cold, but it’s still a shower:)
really cheap candy at the canteen
delicious tea
seeing people on Skype (I haven’t seen anybody since being in Thailand)
getting a lot accomplished on a free day
finding out there is a T.G.I.Friday’s in Hyderabad
making faces at Emily when sound doesn’t work on skype
receiving emails and facebook messages
seeing that adding a background color added life to our mural
Well, I could make this list go on and on, but I think this is it for now.
much love!
