Project: Today (Day 3)

Today, I learned a few things about myself. Kinda funny how certain situations cause people to reflect.

What did I learn?

I learned that I’m not a complete scatterbrain – I’m a lot more “with it” then I’ve given myself credit for.

I learned that I’m still optimistic about life – even though I thought stupid stuff happens.

I learned that I shouldn’t take common sense for granted – not everyone has it.

I learned that I still have a temper – but I can choose to fly off the handle or calm down.

I learned that I see things differently – what is painfully obvious to me, is not at all to someone else.

I learned how powerful encouragement is – as I encourage others, I get encouraged.

I learned I am exceedingly blessed – with family, friends, provision and opportunities.

Here’s a little story about that last one. Today, I signed paperwork to begin classes for my Adobe Certified Expert Ceritication. When I moved up here to Nashville I went back to school, majoring in Graphic Design. All I wanted to take was classes on Adobe’s Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash and all that good stuff. But, as with many colleges…there were all this other lameo classes that I had to take first.

Unfortunantely, my money for college ran out before I could get to the “good stuff. I started to try to wrap my mind around the idea that I would never get to take these classes and learn, I’d just have to teach myself. But here I am today, enrolled for classes that start Monday. And I’m not paying a dime.

I learned that I’m overwhelmed with gratitude – and that’s a good thing to be overwhelmed by.
