Days 4 and 5: Things have been a little hectic...time to slow down for a few minutes

So we are only 5 days into this little experiment and I am already a day behind.  What does that tell you about my time lately?  Little crazy, I can tell you that.  I'm going to have to make up for it, so here we go.

Day 4:
1.  I absolutely LOVE daydreaming.  There is nothing better than allowing your brain to decompress and then think of things that are fun, freeing, and anything but the cubicle you may sit in (like me).  I did that a few times yesterday.
2.  Seeing my teenage students excited to see their teacher after Christmas break made my day.  I absolutely love my students and they were so happy to see me and vice versa.  It was so nice to see all of their smiling faces again, even if it means back to work.
3.  Realizing that I have definitely grown up and become my own person after spending some time with fading friends.  I had the chance to realize that I really have taken steps forward to being comfortable with myself, who I am and who I want to be known as.  For the first time in awhile, I feel comfortable in my own skin.  It's an amazing feeling.

Day 5:
1.  Yoga.  Yoga is something I absolutely love doing but never really get a chance to.  I had a great friend rope me into signing up for classes and I couldn't be happier.  It makes me so calm which is something I so desperately need in my life.
2.  Romantic possibilities.  I have spent quite a bit of my day thinking great thoughts about the possibility of being with someone who I know and admire and truly like and hoping that he feels the same way.  Having recently spent a good deal of time really getting to know him, I feel like there is a good chance that that is the case.  If only certain obstacles were not currently in the way.  Perhaps sometime in the near future, they will free up and it won't be a problem.  Fingers crossed.  He simply makes me smile, which is everything.
3.  Good old fashioned childhood superstitions.  There is something to be said for the old fashioned "make a wish at 11:11" or tossing coins in fountains or wishing on a star.  I know that I had a particularly rough day yesterday, and on my way home flippantly wished on a star.  You can imagine my amazement and surprise and Virginia-esque wonder when it came true before I even stepped foot back in my house.  Sometimes, childhood memories really can make things better.  Maybe there will even be a few more instances of that happening soon for me.  Maybe.
