39 of 100 ... Let the Sun Rain Down on Me!

I think Fridays are fantastic ... just because they're Fridays!   The work week is done, and what lies ahead is open for us to make something of it! It was a long work day (9 hrs) so there was a sense of exhaustion when I left.  I keep contemplating ... why does it seem I am more tired here than when I taught?  It might have to do with the absence of mental engagement, the sense of ineffectiveness, or something along those lines.  Something to think about on my own time.  The day was beautiful today and it looks like the weekend will be nice also!  Not as nice as other places ... but AT LEAST WE'RE NOT SNOWING!!!


Moments of Gratitude for Friday :
1.  Today, I'm grateful that IT'S FRIDAY!!
2.  Today, I'm grateful that I got up at 5:00 AM ... that doesn't happen often and it was nice for it to happen today.  Gave me time to properly prepare for work .. and, ironically, do a bit of cleaning on my table!
3.  Today, I'm grateful for finding someone to walk with at lunches.  It came about in an odd way, and I'm not quite sure what to think of it, but I'm glad that the opportunity has presented itself to me! Maybe because of who it is (my manager), it will also pressure me to get out more??
4.  Today, I'm grateful for having the time to finish getting caught up on my PVRd episodes of Bates Motel.  I'm enjoying the character development, in a show where no one is really "good" and yet you still see good character traits in them. 
5.  Today, I'm grateful going to bed in my bed ... so often I end up sleeping on my sofa, but tonight, I made the effort to go to bed in my bed.  As it was the weekend, I also turned the lights off in hopes of a better sleep.
