Friday — What A Beautiful Rainy Day

Day 12 of Gratitude

When you start your day by getting caught in the rain, you lower your expectations for a good day. Though I don’t know why that moment overshadowed the one before it. The one where my amazing friend was generous enough to send me the money I needed to pay my phone bill. I should’ve known then that it was going to be a lovely day. The rain felt like a bad sign. It was cold and the rain landing on my hair, skin, and soaking my clothes was making me colder. In that moment, my frustration made me forget how grateful I was for that random surprise.

Upon arriving at work one of the older teachers that I got to know yesterday at the training, stopped me and randomly asked me what year I graduated high school. Yesterday I found out she used to live in my neighborhood and I told her what high school I went to. When I told her what year I graduated she asked me if I knew her son, Kevin.

😲 “You’re Kevin’s mom!”

Of course, I knew Kevin he was part of my friend group back then and a Facebook friend now. The coincidence was surprising but put a giant smile on my face. Kevin’s mom/ my co-worker is such a sweetheart and I made sure to tell him so.

The rest of the day went by smoothly and quickly. The last 2 hours of my day was spent doing nothing much. If I’m in a classroom that naps, I spend that time writing if I can, but today I was engaged in a funny conversation with a co-worker I met the day before.

Today I am grateful for an unexpectedly good day. It’s been a long time since I felt good just because. There were sweet moments and funny moments, but the happiness I felt was organic. I think back to my birthday and it felt as though I had to remind myself to be happy. I had to feel around for reasons to feel good that day. And while it was a good day, I had to try harder to enjoy it. Today was unexpected. I wasn’t trying, or faking it for the sake of work. It was raining outside but my mood felt like a beautiful summer day. And like clockwork right when it was time to go home, the rain stopped.

Thank you so much to everyone reading you know I appreciate every single one of you!
