Starting Off Right

More on last night's thinking later (I'm sure). Right now, nothing could bother me. My day got off to such a great start I just don't have the heart to ruin it with stress. Especially when I know stressing won't fix anything anyway.

I woke up later than I should have, for sure. But I also went to bed later than I should have (I've been having trouble sleeping lately, for some totally unknown reason). And there are some mornings when you just know that a little extra sleep would be the best thing you could do for yourself. Every once in a while the benefits of sleeping in far outweigh the consequences, and I think when you recognize one of those times you should go for it, guilt-free. So instead of waking up early and having breakfast and studying, I continued to revel in my beautiful dream. I'm not sure exactly what it was about, but it was comfortable and relaxing and definitely pleasant, and I kind of drifted out of it and eased into the morning naturally before my (fifth) alarm went off. So that was a great feeling, but I had this nagging voice in the back of my mind reminding me that I had to go to class soon, and I have an exam tonight, and that meant less time to study. But I shook it off, telling myself that sleep was valuable too and I probably wouldn't have studied more than 3 hours today anyway (I mean let's be honest). And then I checked my e-mail, and my class was cancelled! Plus all this other feel-good stuff had happened: I got a very friendly e-mail back from someone I hardly know who really doesn't have to be nice to me at all, a close friend I haven't seen in a while had written me something that made me feel really good, and I realized I still remembered the stuff I learned on guitar last night! These really aren't big things at all, but just getting a positive boost right when I woke up made me feel so good about the day. Now I'm off to study so I can continue to feel that way after my Psych exam.
