So I'm a bit late on the spring cleaning, but today, the day has come! It's a beautiful day out, I was in the mood to clean so I am. And I'm skipping my language class to do it. Don't read that Mom and Dad, its not true!!! But anways, I am moving in five short weeks and this past weekend I accumulated a lot of new things, thanks Alison, and my room has been a wreck! Long story short, today is THE day!!
Anyways, along with cleaning come doing the laundry, sorting through my stuff, and air suctioning my clothes into plastic bags. Heck yea! It's quite fun actually.
Anyways, I am listening to podcasts from Dr. Brooks online while cleaning and its just such a liberating day! Later I plan to go for a walk and enjoy the sunshine, but not too much as yesterday I spent about 4 hours total at parks and am paying for it today. Although I do think I might actually be a little darker than pale this summer since the sun has starting giving me a little white girl glow. haha.
Alors, because I have been doing so many things, my mind has also been doing a lot...of thinking...and I have come up with a list of things I am so thankful for today. Just thought I'd share. Amongst all the craziness of life, I am choosing to be thankful for so many things.
In this very moment, I am thankful for:
- iTunes and podcasts of my favorite preachers back home
- air tight suctioning plastic bags that make moving so much easier! especially winter items!
- nail polish! I feel so sassy with freshly colored nails.
- sun shine! because when I sit in a certain place on my bed I feel the warmth and its magnificent!
-new to me purses. My friend moved back home this week and left me with some really awesome purses she couldn't fit in her luggage. They might not be new, but they are new to me and I still get giddy when I leave the house carrying my "new" bag!
-the Bible! its my life.
-bath tubs. Not many people have the luxury of a bath tub in Paris and I know that when I move in 5 weeks I will loose this luxury for most likely the next year so I am taking advantage of it and have been taking baths, long ones, every single day lately. And I plan on continuing my long baths until I move.
Well, I hope each of you can find a few things to be thankful for today! Life just seems so much brighter when you can find the good in everything! And trust me, some days I really struggle to find that.
Well, gotta get back to my spring cleaning before the urge wears off and I'm left with a new mess I am uninspired to clean. That, and the cleaning lady comes in 1 hour. bleh!
Love, me
