Being positive.

This week has been one of setbacks and disappointments. It's only Tuesday and I'm feeling this way, if that gives you any indication of my state of mind. It's been busy and the weather has been gloomy--both of which are bad for me on multiple levels.

I keep trying to focus on the good things, but that's hard to do with an elephant sitting on my head. So I'm going to make a list. I'm going to prove to myself and whoever may be reading this that life isn't all that bad.

1. I got new sunglasses that don't hurt my head if worn in moderation. And they're pretty cute, too.
2. My car is clean. If you've seen my car any time within the past, oh, six months, you'll know this is a huge accomplishment.
3. I made a 100 on my Advanced Comp test today. I've been lost in this class from Day One.
4. I have an idea for my next big project. And I'm putting to use a $3 book I got on clearance at Books-A-Million to do the project.
5. I finally folded 3 loads of laundry I did over a week ago. (Getting them upstairs and into my dresser may take another week.)
6. I'm eating again. Which is nice. I missed food.
7. My power cord for my computer is officially on the way. It's been going in and out on me for a week now.
8. I get to see my brothers sing and dance next weekend.
9. Spring Break is getting nearer every day.
10. My mom is Parent of the Year. I always knew I had a cool mom.

Phew... That was hard work. But I do have things to be thankful for and things to look forward to. Life with migraines gets tough sometimes, but it's still life. And it's my life. It's the only one I've got. I can't wish every day away or sit around waiting for a better phase of life to come. I'm never going to understand the way my Father works, but I do know he has taught me a million things through this already. Maybe that will be another pick-me-up list for another dreary day.
