I know it's not good to wish days away. To be so focused on the future and what is going to happen rather than enjoying the moment we have right now. Don't get me wrong, I am fully enjoying everything about this day and this week, but sometimes no matter how much you enjoy what you're doing and the place in which you're doing it, the stress can amount to just enough to make you ready for the next phase.
That's where I find myself today, so I'm noticing that I'm finding myself finding so much happiness in incentives, reason to accomplish each task at hand now. Each of these incentives is seeming to revolve around family, too, which makes me even more excited when I remember that once I push through these difficult times I'll have the opportunity to breathe and find joy with those who I love most!
Here's the calendar of events that is what's keeping me going today:
Tomorrow-Lunch with Nana and Pop-pop! (They're visiting from home and I was so worried I wasn't going to be able to see them this week with all that's going on!)
Next weekend (11/20 through Tues. 11/23)-Mom, Dad and Morgan will be in town!
Thursday the 25th-THANKSGIVING!!!!! :) (SO much family time that day!!!)
Thursday, December 16th-Home for Winter Break!
Keeping this in mind has been able to help me put the tail end of this crazy semester from a newer perspective--a perspective where it looks broken up enough to not seem like one big, daunting expanse of never-ending time, and by allowing me to remember that family time isn't as few and far between as is easy to think sometimes!
Today, thoughts of family makes me happy :)
