Mountain Dew and Boats Ahoy

It was a long day of work. I have a lot of tasks moving at once and it was making it hard to accomplish anything. One definite downside to the whole female thing... is the fact that my mind can focus on more than one thing at a time. I was so grateful when one of my co-workers picked up my jacket and offered it to me. I quickly slipped my arms into the sleeves and sauntered over to the door following in their steps. We did laps around the building to keep our bodies warm; talking about the boat. I am not alone in the boat and I know that. There is something so great about the talks. Something that makes the rest of the day okay-ish. Today as I talked with him about the girl he loves, I started to tear up. When he turned and saw my moist eyes, he reached out and held me for a second. There was an understanding in his gaze and that was all that was said. We quickly moved onto caffeine to ease my work load. I quickly started marking tasks done and all that I needed was a few laps in the cold.

Some thing he said is right- If I focus on the little moments, the good things, and the many blessings in my life, everything that seems hard will fade to the background. I won't have to worry about my work, I won't have to worry where I stand; I will see the good and that will be enough. So for now, I am going to remember my blessings each day out loud.
