I have been seriously stressed out today. I have been flipping out over school, over life in general. I've been worried over grades and moving to Europe, and everything.
So I went for a walk. To start l entire loosing the 20 pounds I need to loose before the wedding.
And on my walk, I ran into a homeless person. Anyone who really knows me knows of my irrational fear of homeless people.
And I forced myself to make eye contact, and I said a gracious "Hi, how are you?"
And he looked at me, smiled, and said "I'm pretty good, pretty good. How about yourself?" And I said "Good, thanks."
And he kept walking with his life in his overstuffed suitcase.
I've been stressing over my wedding. I've been stressing over my education. And I've been stressing over moving to another country with the man that I love more than anything.
I am blessed. I am happy, mostly healthy (hackhack, cough up mucus, cough cough), and I have a wonderful family and amazing friends.
And that is my lesson for the day.
