Rainy Mornings

You know the saying, "When it rains it pours?" 
Well, that is the title of my life this week.
My computer decided to call it quits for its 17th + time the other night because it hates charging thanks to my clumsiness of dropping it on its side three years ago. 
My android fell while I was listening to music in the bathroom and part of the screen cracked which now means it will not sense my touch on one half of the screen.
I completely struggled with a homework assignment that ended with a not so pretty word on my behalf.
I tried to be a great daughter and buy my mom an awesome birthday gift, but realized I did not read the fine print and now hate the gift I got her for her birthday.
It is pouring today when I took the time to straighten my hair last night which means hello frizzy, wavy, ridiculous hair.

It really does pour when it rains. I spent the morning calling myself stupid and being so angry at myself and life.
After spending twenty minutes beating myself up for my clumsiness and lack of gracefulness, I quickly sobered up and reminded myself that I have way too much to be thankful for.

I am grateful my parents continue to buy me electronics even though they know I will most likely break them in the long run.
I am grateful for rainy days to water this beautiful place I call home.
I am grateful for bad hair days because it reminds me that my worth does not come from my beauty, but from God.
I am grateful I had money to buy my mom a birthday present this year even if it may not be the best gift in the world.
I am grateful for not always being the perfect Christian and that God still loves me through it all the bad words that come out of my mouth.
I am grateful to realized I can get through life without electronics.
I am grateful for the friends who continue to encourage me through my rough weeks and temper tantrums.
I am grateful to be alive and breathing for another day.

We have so much to be grateful for.
