One of those days...

Today has been a bit unusual but all turned out okay, thank God.  Things were pretty hectic at work; I am working on a project that requires creating online forms.  Picking it apart and testing it, repeatedly, absolutely has taken it toll on my today.  Just as I was ready to pull my hair out I received a call from a good friend.  She was upset and needed to talk...how can anyone turn down a friend who needs to talk?  I will never know.

She came to work, we talked, I showed her around and then we grabbed some lunch.  We parted with a hug and she left with a smile. I, of course, hated to see her upset, but there's something about someone coming to me to talk or looking for comfort that makes me realize I have more than one purpose in this world.  It was great to spend some time with her to.  Life is so busy lately its hard to find time to share with all the people we care for.

Later on in the day we found out that Justin will not be going to School of the Arts.  The idea of telling him this sickened me.  He wanted this so bad.  Unfortunately when you apply to a school that has 750 applicants and there are only 140 open seats the odds are against you.

Once I arrived home from work TJ and I sat with him and told him the news.  He asked if he could read the letters and towards the end of one he broke down.  His brothers were so concerned; they were very supportive and comforting.  Nick even gave him his new air popper which made Justin feel better.  We decided to head out to grab something to eat and go to Game Stop so the boys could use the gift cards they received for Christmas.  We had a nice evening despite the disappointing news.  Justin went to sleep happy.  Yup...my prayers were answered.  Throughout all this, my strongest prayer was that he would be able to handle the rejection if need be and he did...Praise God!

More prayers answered as far as my eating goes.  I have been doing pretty great this week. Today was probably my best day as far as making sure I get veggies in.  I feel good about myself and I'm looking forward to getting all this extra weight off.  Everything that has to do with my fitness seems to be real positive right now...I'm so grateful for that.

Although today became "one of those days" I do believe it ended well.
