Bonus points for those who did not have to look up the word antithesis. I admit I googled it first to make sure it really meant what I thought it meant. It did. Yay me.
My day yesterday was rough. Today... well, today was quite the opposite. I figured if I posted about my bad day, I should post about my good day too. Here we go.
Today began at 7am with a phone call. No, it wasn't somebody who found my wallet. It was the one and only person who feels at liberty to call me at 7am on my day off. And in typical fashion, the call started with a "Goodmorning! It'stimetogetup! Ithoughtyou'dbeatworkbutthenIrememberedit'syourdayoff...butHaveyoueverheardofPancho's? It'saMexicandrivethroughplaceasgoodasJosePeppers...IjustgotbreakfastandStarbucksand....."
It was 7am and I groaned and rolled out of bed and padded outside and sat on my patio for the rest of the phone call. The neighbors below me came outside and smoked and went back inside and came back outside to smoke... I watched the motorcycles cruise down Renner. I told him about my day yesterday and I vented some and felt much better afterward but the majority of the call was about motorcycles and tanks and helicopters and that was exactly what I needed... get myself out of myself for a while.
After that I went running. It was 9 and already hot so I went to Millcreek Trail and ran under the canopy of trees. It smelled so good. While I was running, I got a txt from someone wanting to buy my dresser. I did cut my run short but got $80.
It was 11 and hot so I went to the pool. Laid out. Got tan. Felt good. Picked up my album from H&H to mail to a wedding client.
It was Aimee who commented that I should call the gas station where I'd noticed my wallet was missing and see if they found it. It hadn't really occurred to me, but I guess it could've fallen out of my purse just as easily there. So I called. And they had a wallet. And it was pink and yellow. And it was mine.
And everything was still in it. Even the $100 cash.
Here, the doxology started running through my head... 'Praise God from whom all blessings flow..."
The afternoon was spent collecting my wallet, picking up my brother and teaching him how to drive. It was thrilling. And we survived. He even made a left turn on Metcalf. Mom didn't look too pleased about that one ;)
Mom followed me back to my storage unit where she helped me clean it out. I sorted through all of it while watching Warm Bodies and eating steak that mom had given me. I dropped off donations to Savers, took back my movie and bought groceries. Now it is 8p and I am warm from my sunburn and full of steak and I have my wallet in my purse.
I think God knew exactly what I needed today and provided it in full. I'm so glad for days like yesterday to be followed by days like today.
Thank you, Lord.
