Today Was Good

Today was actually pretty good. It was already off to a good start when I woke up from a comforting dream of being asleep in my grandmother's bed and under her covers. It felt like she was right next to me. Then I got up and had breakfast, which I rarely do anymore. I took a walk on the beach to collect seashells. Then I was showing my friend my photo album and found money I misplaced this summer. I really needed to find that money to pay for my tires, too. I went to work at Yankee Candle and the customers seemed in a wonderful mood today, so it made my day even brighter. The kids all wanted to talk to me and were so genuinely happy I could feel their love and innocence shoot through me. I just don't know what it was about today. It doesn't sound like much I'm sure, but I just felt like I was okay today. I didn't want to kill myself and I didn't want to find drugs or self harm. Today was good. I'm very grateful to get a break from the sadness I've been feeling lately. I hope tomorrow has even more blessings to present themselves.
