It's all about what you're looking for

This week has been really long and stressful and just a lot of things going on that I wish weren't going on.  On Thursday, I realized that I was making this week out to be even worse than it was, so I started writing down things that were good that happened to me this week.  It didn't make the problems go away, but it made life more manageable.
Good Things:
1.  Random laughing fits with Yvette
2.  Exchanging HeyTell messages with Kellie
3.  Having Grace be so great and understanding and helpful and simply lovely
4.  Finally being able to talk to my mom on the phone after she's been in Peru for a week and a half
5.  The breakout session at the spring leadership conference
6.  My 2 hour nap on Friday
7.  Doing all of my hip exercises well
8.  Voicemails and Facebook videos from Courtney and Olivia
9.  Seeing Janine's long lost twin and comparing how similar they are
10.  Watching US Figure Skating Championships on TV while doing homework right now

"Collect moments, not things."

great moments from today
1.  seeing grace across the dining hall right when she walked in and waving at her
2.  working out with hardly anybody else in the fitness center today
3.  when i realized things i learned today in both of my classes overlap and are related
4.  remembering that emily's letter to me is in the mail and that we're so good at being penpals
5.  being productive in our room when ann and rachel are at panhel
6.  blogging and going to bed before midnight
