I asked Marianne, "Does Anne Shirley talk about having a Jonah day? Is that a thing?"
She didn't know and I googled it. It is a thing Anne said and I also want to reread those books. I love them!
I started out with a Jonah day yesterday. I was impatient and frustrated with everyone and everything. My master degree pursuit is teaching me things besides the academic content. It is showing me how impatient I am and it has humbled me.
Ugh.
When am I just going to get patient already so I don't have to keep being taught the lesson?!?
Braeden called and that bringer of sunshine helped me feel better. Mark came over to do some work and I told him I needed a bolstering hug and he gave me one. I talked to my mom on the phone and also Marianne and all the grumblings started to dissipate.
A wonderful thing that happened was that Stephanie was in town and she came over and visited for a few hours. I loved sitting across from her talking about all the things. We were going to take a walk, for old time's sake, but it was extremely windy. I think it was one of the top windy times since we've lived here!
It ended up being a good day. The moral of this story is that people make all the difference.
