Silver Lining

This past wee has been nothing short of exhausting.  While I love my job, I've found myself just wanting to stay in bed all week instead of getting up and being productive.  I have a lot to do in my last month living in Connecticut, but I don't really want to do any of them.

Today was especially lazy.  It's the first real day off I've had in a while, meaning I didn't have anything I really had to do, I didn't have to be anywhere at any time, I just got to sit on the couch and watch some t.v. and watch the trains pass the apartment I'm staying in for the next couple of weeks.  It was a gloomy, rainy day, so I stayed in my pajamas and ate ramen.  This is going to be a "Today, I believe..." list.

Today, I Believe...

  •  showering, getting back into pajamas and watching BBC can make for a great day off in the middle of chaos.
  • train rides really are amazing and beautiful.
  • barely using your phone all day can help to clear your head and keep from stressful conversations.
  • everything happens for a reason, even if it isn't clear why everything is falling apart around you right now.
  • "You have to do everything you can, you have to work your hardest, and if you do, you have a shot at a silver lining..."  is probably one of the most accurate and hard-hitting messages for me right now.
Happy Sunday, everyone.  Hopefully the coming weeks will be better.
