Perspective

Once I returned to my apartment after a great Thanksgiving break, I felt disappointed that I would have to go back to school tomorrow. I then thought about all the school work I've got to do, and I started to feel overwhelmed. I stopped myself and seriously went through in my mind all the things I really have to do: A few small online assignments and a research paper (due next week, and I've started to do some research for it). That's it. That's all that was weighing on my mind. It really didn't seem all that bad when I really thought about it. With this perspective, I felt happier. It's amazing what mentally stepping back can do. I am grateful for good, broad perspective.
