bad taste.

Today I don't feel like an optimist.
I feel like a depressimist. 
I am well aware of the fact that that is not a word, but it fits.  I was just about to list all the things that have gone wrong today, but I know that won't help my situation at all. 
God is faithful, even when I refuse to recognize it.  And that sort of faithfulness deserves recognition!
So, if it kills me, I'm going to list 25 things that went RIGHT today, blessings that God sent my way, grace that I definitley didn't deserve.
#25 - I got a kill in our game
#24 - a dear, sweet, wonderful friend gave me a back rub in Bible class
#23 - someone opened the office for me when it was locked and I needed to turn in my PSAT form
#22 - my mom bought dayquil, cough drops, and sudafed to help wiht my impending cold
#21 - I got lots done in PSEO and found out I'm just a little bit behind
#20 - Even though I got up a little later than usual, I had plenty of time to get ready
#19 - I got home early from our game, so I can get in bed at a decent time
