2. Starbucks coffee - My roommate made coffee and delivered it right to my office, along with flavored creamer! Am I spoiled or what?
3. Long lunches - I left campus to have lunch with my friends downtown. Great Guatemalan food. Loved it and loved getting off campus for an extended period of time during the day! I'm starting to think that this job may not be as oppressive as I once predicted it would be. I mean, I'm the boss, right? I can do whatever I want!
4. The weather - Yesterday was the first day of autumn, and it was a perfect day in OKC! The temp was in the 50's or 60's I think, and it was absolutely perfect. Autumn is definitely my favorite time of the year and I plan on enjoying every moment of this season in my new home.
5. Music - I went to a concert last night... by myself. Not the smartest thing I've ever done, and I probably won't ever do it again. It was pretty awkward. But the freedom of being in a room full of people who don't know you and being able to worship however you want because you know these people will never see you again was pretty freeing. Not that I did anything crazy, I just enjoyed it.
You know what's funny? I thought this list would be a lot harder to write than it was. I ended yesterday with an epic failure which totally tainted my view of the rest of the day. But yesterday was a dang good day. Isn't it funny how dozens of good things can happen, but so often we let just one bad thing take away all the joy those other things brought? It's almost like we're intent on being unhappy. What is it inside of us that is wired to define our lives by our failures, weaknesses and hurts?
