THANKFUL FOR: 78 IN JANUARY 

You Southern people are really going to understand my pain on this one. I love the South with my whole heart, but sometimes this weather is just unreal. I mean it is the last day of January and it is supposed to be cold, but  here in big Texas it was 78 degrees. I mean I love it, but it just seems like a tease because eventually when I least expect it I will walk outside, prepared for 78 degree weather, and it will be 28 degrees and I will be sadly frozen. But nonetheless, the thing to do now is enjoy what mother nature is giving us. 

I told y’all that Tuesday’s and Thursday’s are my hardest days as far as just being all around long. Today from 9:10 to 7:30 I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I am not mad about it because that is life, but all day I was rushing around thinking about the weather. How lucky am I that I got to go from place to place and give tour tests in the amazing weather? I mean it isn’t like this everywhere in the world and it’s January for crying out loud. We should consider this a gift. 

I also got to go to dinner with Patrick and we kind of talked about how lucky / how crazy it was that we were getting to eat Tacos OUTSIDE in January. I mean that is something to be thankful for, especially in this month. 

Basically I am just grateful for this weather because all day throughout the hustle and bustle it was a nice reminder to be thankful. Good weather does that to a person. 

I have a test on Thursday– first one of the semester ahhh– so tomorrow needs to be very productive for me. I am really not prepared to start hardcore studying again, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Send up some prayers if you would. But good news, the weather is still going to be nice so that is something to look forward to. Go outside. Soak in the sun. Be thankful. 

Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
