seriously so blessed.

"People are particularly stupid today. 

I can't talk to any more of them."

My day started out with an angry old lady yelling at me on the phone {for a mistake someone else made}, and then another one followed. It continued into most of my stories falling apart, someone telling me my name was "way too weird to be okay" when they handed me my lunch, someone I love hurting my feelings, and then followed into someone else telling my boss that I shouldn't be in charge because everything would fall apart.

Then as I went to grab some notebooks from the store I walked past one of those CD preview racks and heard this song playing from the speakers:

and teared up cried in the stationary aisle.

I got homesick for my mom's bed and long hours of chatting as she folded laundry around me (happens a lot when I'm at home), of having to ask my dad to borrow his car (like I'm 16 again), of having a multitude of food in the house and enough string cheese to satiate my every need, of my little sister telling me all the new things that are going on with her friends and their new-found guy friends {a miracle to 12 year old girls}, of my baby brother asking to go on every errand I have to go on -- just so we get to hang out and rock out, of my other little brother asking me to play the piano so we can sing together and work out awesome harmonies. 

Homesick for a big part of my heart. 

For my mom who has always called me sunshine and sings this to me while stroking my hair. 

For my dad who has a gorgeous voice, and no music reading ability -- but learned to play this song for me. 

And then I reminded myself I'm SUPER blessed because:
I HAVE that awesome family.
{So many people aren't that lucky.}
I have a wonderful boyfriend who loves me more than I could ever ask for.
I have a job, a place to live, a car, food, clothes, shoes, and a whole bunch of things I don't necessarily need, but am so grateful I get to have.
I have a work ethic that gets me places in life.
I have you guys.
I have a funny roommate who puts up with my idiosyncrasies and craziness.
I have talents and abilities that many other people would love to have.
I have kick butt hair.
And so many other things.

It's funny how a not so great day can put all the really great stuff in your life into perspective.
