Blessed?

I just glanced at my last posting and this will not sound like it in the least. As opposed to feeling uber-blessed lately, I've been so frazzled I've just about pulled my hair out. Things have been uber-hectic at work and at home and with school and with just about everything, it seems. The stress level has been high and I've been nit-picking way more than I should. I feel like I should be able to swing myself out of schlumps, but sometimes it just continuously goes downhill and I don't know how to stop it. Yesterday will not be mentioned. Thank the Lord we didn't have knitting last night because my aura was bad bad. But after comfort eating and some prayer and talking to my momma, I am of the decision that today will be a much better day. Things (I think) have settled down a little bit and I didn't fail my first test and Beth brought cookies today and I have a salad and a mini-pot pie for lunch and right now I'm covering the front desk for the lady next door, which is a great break from the normal routine. Plus, how could I be crabby when the weather's still in the positives? Plus, I have a long weekend to de-stress. And we have Young Couples Group tonight where I'm hoping I'll gather up the nerve/strength/whatever to ask for some prayer for a friend as well as myself.

Anyway, so we make our own life. Choices. Actions. "Feelings." We choose our mindset. I choose an optimistic and realistic one that's hard-working and encouraging. What will you choose?
