I Almost Didn't Write

I wasn't going to write today.

I wasn't going to write today because I had nothing but complaints to make and no compliments to give. My car overheated, my bank account is dangerously low, my back hurts, and now I have a headache. I just got home from parent teacher conferences with my 5th grader's teaching team, and the news was not all good.

But then I reflected on the day's small accomplishments. I cooked. I managed to get the car home. I made a few new friends. I sketched something I am very happy with, even though she looks so sad, and I remembered - everyone of us has a story.

What's yours?
