Small and Super Things #2

I hate thieves. I also hate the Fast and the Furious franchise, but that’s a blog for another time.

We have had a few car break-ins and even a condo burglarized in our neighborhood over the past few months. Though we are great at breaking into our own house, it was not us!

But last night we did fall victim to the thievery going on. Mr. S’ truck was broken into and for that reason alone I need to find a happy place. And since there is no way I will make it to Disneyland in the next 24 hours, I am counting on ‘small and super things’ getting me through.

1- Lunch with friends.

2- Seeing Wicked for the second time. (This happened on Sunday, but I’m still flying high.)

3- Knowing my new puppy could be born any day now.

4-Finding out the motorcycle rainsuit that was stolen, and originally cost $75, is now on sale for only $47.99.

5-Going shopping for pretty dresses.

The thieves weren’t completely inconsiderate. In exchange for what they took, they left a pack of cigarettes. See how good I am at finding the silver lining?

Small and Super Things #1

I started today off feeling pretty good about things. The sun was shining, there were baked goods in the breakroom, and despite leaving the braid in my hair from yesterday I still look good. What can I say, spring agrees with me. Then I managed to erase a whole lot of very important information from clients’ files. And by erase, I mean deleted. Irretrievable. Gone into a dark abyss never to return. Yay me!

Through another friend’s blog, I have recently been acquainted with Grace in Small Things. I like the idea of finding the small and simple things to be grateful for in everyday life. I once tried to keep a gratitude journal at the request of Oprah, but I’ve never been great at writing with an actual pen into a book. Thank goodness for blogging. It’s like I’m keeping a journal, but with none of the writer’s cramp.

So since today has only gone downhill, I am going to focus on the positive and turn this day around. Don’t count on this being a daily entry but on days when I manage to make a big mistake at work or have another craptastically good day, you will find another dose of Small and Super Things waiting to be read. Comments don’t hurt either.

1- A new flavor of gum: Berry Pearadise.

2-Only 87 more days till my birthday!

3-I still have my job…so far.

4-Spending the weekend being productive and enjoying Easter dinner with my family.

5. The sun is still shining.

As long as #5 is going on, I can’t stay upset at myself for long.
