Expectations.
Funny... when you have high expectations it's so easy to be disappointed... but when you truly don't expect anything - you can be so pleasantly surprised.
I'm easily satisfied... when people listen. I don't need big things.
A text message at Midnight, a drive out to a Pumpkin Patch, the scenic route back and dinner at Enjoy is perfect. The GPS added to the perfection. You were going to get me one for YOUR birthday - so you didn't have to listen to my lost stories... (even though I think you think it's endearing)... Thank you for being thoughtful!! And for a GREAT birthday.

Playing Catch Up
I love when you can get together with a friend that you haven't seen in YEARS and it's like no time has past at all!
Prayer
What we don't Know - Teach Us
What we don't Have - Give Us
What we are Not - Make Us

The Little Things
make such a huge difference!
it's crazy how in a moment you can be so discouraged and down - but with one little thing your whole day and outlook is different!
i've been "cold calling" and called 8 people - with out a bite - either people are very satisfied with their title company right now - or have one that is attached to their company. i prayed, "Lord, please give me a bone... i need something". the next call i made was someone who was interested in seeing what we have to offer. then the next call the loan officer said that he remembered a closing we had a few months back and everything went GREAT... (GOOD TO HEAR!) the next call i was able to set up an appointment to meet with the loan officers in their office!
it's crazy what a little good news can do. i think we need to hear more of it right now! we need to laugh more - to talk about the GOOD things - to be there for each other when all that seems to be out there right now is negativity!
the truth is - it's pretty rough more most right now... but if we can see that and understand where everyone is coming from and get through it together - we will. we'll get through it! and it will be better - because we'll have each other to lean on!
i'm so thankful for my job and the people around me. it's great to surround yourself with positive people who will encourage you to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and do what you're supposed to do. not just to accept the negativity out there!
maybe it's good that the things that we've trusted in are being stripped away a bit - so we can know where we can truly trust?
i'm thankful for the little things that make a difference in my daily life - i hope i can give those little things to people - to make a small difference in encouragement!

PMS
who ever came up with this?? because it sucks!
i am mad at the world today. sad with the world today. almost cried on my way to work. woke up annoyed. went to bed sad and expecting more. i am more needy than i usually am. i am focused on myself. i am worried (probably about nothing) i am crampy, hungry, and craving chocolate. i am bloated like no one's business. i'm pretty sure by the end of the day i'll be fine... but until then i feel like wearing a big sign that says, "WATCH OUT".
this sucks - but at least only comes once a month.
