Day 13 and 14 - it's the freaking weekend, baby i'm about to have me some fun

oops... did it again!  sorry!  i'm getting pretty bad at remembering to do this each night.  hmm... does this mean that the blog isn't working?  we shall see!

Day 13 - Friday 11/7

it was a fairly boring day in that it felt like any other day of the week.  busy all day, the day flew by as usual.  that night, i went to sg.  i wasn't particularly in the mood to go to sg as i was feeling a little grumpy and kind of just wanted to be alone.  but i went anyway.  and even though nothing miraculous happened that night, i was somehow glad to be there.  i realized that my negative self wanted to go home and be alone.  and by being alone, it would sort of let me indulge in my desire to wallow.  but by being at sg, i was forced to make conversation, inadvertently be made to laugh, and be able to offer some sage words here and there about the biblestudy.  and while i totally get that sg should not be about me, i felt it was sort of like God kicking me in the butt a little.  to be like - nope!  you're not going home tonight.  tonight, you're going to be surrounded by people.  you're going to remember the goodness of community, and you're going to bring glory to Me somehow.  and who can't be thankful for bringing God the glory?

Day 14 - Sat 11/8

it was a good day.  it's been a long time since sy and i got to have some good, quality time alone together.  we ate some good brunch, we walked around in the city, we ate a fantastic dinner, and snuggled up to watch a movie.  there were flashes of moments throughout the day where i felt hope for the future - that things would soon be looking up again.  and i cling to those moments.  so what am i thankful for?  that amazing fried chicken at our favorite place in flushing. there's something so incredibly fantastic about this fried chicken.  one bite, and i feel like i am in heaven - no exaggeration.  haha!  it's silly to say that a fried chicken can make me feel so thankful, but that chicken can turn an awful day into a great day.  and that chicken graced my life once again.  i'm so thankful for this chicken.  while the taste alone can be the reason it makes me so happy, it's also the happy memories i attach with it.  sy and i have never had a bad time when we eat that chicken.  hahahaha.  it is truly a magical fried chicken.
