I'm having one of those days. The kind where you just can't seem to start off on the right footing. And yet, today started off as a good day in disguise.

I woke up at 6:30am and was ready to leave for work by 7:00am as I promised my dad. The sun is shining, I didn't have to prepare a lunch because I have leftover pad thai, I'm wearing pink... what could go wrong? Well first off, we didn't end up leaving right at 7:00 as my dad had insisted we do last night. We left at 7:15... but no big deal... I just patiently waited at the front door until he was ready to go. Next, while driving I realized that my pad thai was sitting on the counter, with the rest of my lunch... at this point I'm feeling a little frusterated, but again, I can handle it. I'm a big girl. No sense getting upset. I can buy my lunch today. Then, as we drove to work, my dad asked continual questions about wedding details that I didn't have answers to and for whatever reason, I started to feel rather annoyed with him. This was entirely my fault, but finally I told him that I wasn't a morning person and I didn't want to chat anymore. Of course, he was offended by this and the rest of the drive was completed in silence.

So my good shiny day has become less like my vibrant pink shirt and more like my grey skirt (but with not as much style or flare).

And I'm angry with myself for being cranky, because I know I'm just being cranky and I don't want to be cranky. Sometimes I wish I could just snap myself out of a mood. But it's not always that easy. I'm trying to remind myself today that really, everything that has happened this morning is so insignificant. It's funny how small things can seem so big at the time. I want to remind myself today that I actually have so much to be thankful for and that I've been incredibly blessed. I should really be on my knees, praising God for all that He's given to me. And if I pray to Him he will change and transform my mood into one that is glorifying to Him and reflective of the grace He has provided and the joy I feel.

So hopefully I can approach this day with a better perspective. There were a few bumps at the beginning, but I think it's gonna be a better day.
