Keep Calm, It Gets Better

I woke up after only five hours of sleep this morning, and I wasn't looking forward to this day at all. I felt so exhausted and worn down throughout the morning and afternoon. What I'm grateful for is the fact that as the day wore on, it got better. A well-timed message from a brother, briefly catching up with a friend I hadn't seen all summer, attending a scripture study class, a couple of friends sincerely asking how my day went, getting a lot of pizza after said class, an enjoyable rehearsal of a friend's wonderful music composition, and now the time spent reflecting on these small highlights. I feel much better physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually now than I did this morning. That is a tremendous blessing!
