Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 95

Today's Daily 5:
  1. 1 year, 95 days of making these lists
  2. A mug of tea
  3. Making fun plans with friends for the weekend
  4. surviving another snowy commute (this one more complicated and slower)
  5. requesting a new book to review from booksneeze
  6. pausing for a few minutes to eat lunch and just breathe a little
  7. Spending my day making phone calls for work that made people incredibly happy.  I get paid to be the person who tells people that they are going to have gifts to give their children for Christmas this year.  It's maybe the best job ever, because everyone I speak with is incredibly thankful, and today I got to hear some incredible stories, too, about how we're meeting a neeed.
  8. Subway for supper
  9. a day where painkillers actually worked, and I was much more functional than I thought I'd be
  10. wearing a scarf (today's was from Nepal)
  11. good discussions at house church tonight
  12. praying together with friends.

Tired and Achy

Yesterday was a challenging day.

And last night was pretty rough.

I pretty much feel like crying.

The injuries from my car accidents that get exacerbated when I'm exhausted and emotionally drained are all sore.

And there is snow.  Everywhere.  In quantities that just won't stop.

So, I'm just going to do my best to put one foot in front of the other today.  Paste on a smile and fake it til I make it real, I think.

I can do this.  Once minute, one breath at a time.
