Let the Rain Fall Down

Some days I just want to stay in bed all day and watch movies. Today is one of those days. For one, it's a cold, rainy day, the perfect weather to stay curled up under blankets in comfy clothes. Recently, I've decided I need to have "lazy days". Without the occasional lazy day, I can become quite the crabby person.  Of course, I can't blame my crabbiness completely on my lack of being lazy. How awful does that sound?

It's these kind of days that remind me of all those count downs I've had in the past. How many days until Thanksgiving break? How many days until Christmas? Days when I just want to write blogs, look at pinterest, and play games with my class because I don't feel like teaching.

Being in Korea has taught me some stuff about those count downs I used to have.. in my planner, on my blog, in a facebook status... always somewhere in the back of my mind I could tell myself that I only have so many days left. However, now that I have a job I actually love, which just so happens to not have many long breaks to look forward to, I can actually see that I don't always need to be looking forward to the future. Sure, I will always be a dreamer, but at times like these, I need to learn to be content with the here and now, thankful for where I am and what I am doing instead of longing for something far off in the distance.

P.S. 1 more day until a 3 day weekend. :)
