It is...
Today was a good day, actually a great day. One that I might just actually label a fabulous day. Why you may ask....well just pull up your comfiest chair and I will tell you...(You should know that I never say anything in a few words, it always ends up being a novel)
It wasn't a great day because after spending 98.72% of the last two days in bed I finally had enough energy to get out of bed - or off the floor (I could be found guilty of not sleepy in my bed for the last month...don't ask...I don't even know). - although that was really nice. (even if I did sleep through 3 alarms and woke up an hour and a half later than I should have)
It wasn't really great because my natural curly hair actually decided to look decent today. I love it when on days that I am running REALLY late I don't have to worry about blow drying & straightening my hair.
What made it really great wasn't that I ran in the door to work over an hour late to see three new hires waiting for me, only to hear one of my favorite co-workers telling these new hires how great I am when in all honesty I still don't have a clue about half of the stuff I am supposed to be doing.
It also wasn't the really nice compliment that the friend responsible for getting my job gave me letting me know that everyone at my new company was glad I was there that made the day great, even if that did make me a little bit happier inside.
Not even getting through four of the stacks of un-filed papers on my desk made it really great, although it did relieve some of the OCD anxiety I have been feeling since starting my new job. There is just something so satisfying about not having stacks of paperwork everywhere, and even better knowing what is in those stacks of paperwork.
Even though I was so happy to see one of my most favorite Texan's and visit with a few former co-workers that isn't what made it really great. A few people that I really miss.
What made my day really GREAT was all of these things. What really put the smile on my face and then warmth in my heart was that moment on my drive home when I realized that finally all of those years of my parent's quite examples had paid off. That moment when I realized that actions speak louder than words. That moment that I realized that even when I get discouraged and wish I could just get things right for once that there is some of my Dad's goodness inside of me after all. Tonight I realized that all of those times my Mom and Dad silently taught me that people are more important than programs, than statistics, even than the bottom line -might just have sunk in a little more than I thought. What made the day really great was the view of the HUGE full moon coming up over the mountains...my own sweet reminder that My Dad isn't far away. What made my day Fabulous was when I blinked the tears out of my eye and heard my Dads voice say "I Love You Becca Boo, You're doing just fine" And that was what I needed to finish off this really great day... And you know what's really amazing... for once I didn't argue with Him.
An afterthought....sometimes I go back and read these after I publish them just to make sure they make sense...because they always sound so much better in my head....Anyway....
This post might sound like I am "tooting my own horn" but that wasn't my purpose. It really wasn't. Truth be told - I am like the million other women who feel the need to argue with every positive thing that is said about them and because we are so willing to argue with our own positive qualities sometimes we are to quick to judge when others do it. So if you are like me...Which I am really hoping you aren't...Go ahead and say it...."Doesn't she think she is just the bees knees" to which my response is "No I'm not the bees knees, but I am a daughter of two pretty Amazing Fathers and that my friend is all the reason I need to feel so happy for what They continue to help me to become."
And to everyone else....feel free to remind me of this the next time I have a really bad day.
