I love new days. It's a fresh start to begin again. I am up early this morning and have been working on my research paper. I am feeling quite motivated about it, and generally in a positive mood. I wouldn't say I'm happy, but I'm positive. I don't know how to explain the distinction between the two states... but they are different. I am especially surprised to see myself with such positivity after my dreams last night. Lamictal seriously messes with my dreams and I get these incredibly vivid ones. Last nights dream was about that loss of a person in my life, which basically tore my little pansy heart out while I was sleeping. Most often dreams of a strong emotional content stay with me into the waking hours, but not this time. I am so thankful this one didn't stay with me. So thankful.
It's raining outside and the windows are open with a fresh cool breeze. I can hear some birds singing and calling to one another and my little pup is snuggled in bed. Since it is still cool out, I am using this opportunity to snuggle up in my pj bottoms and a sweatshirt. I love to snuggle up!! I also have a nice cup of coffee (half skim milk so it's easy on my sensitive stomach) and looking forward to a study day with my little sister. We share a class at college... she has the same reserach paper due on Tuesday as I do but she has yet to start on it. I'm worried for her! She hasn't had a statistics course yet and may not understand all of the results and such from the journal articles. I caught her looking at Google for her research ideas and sources yesterday and I almost crapped my pants! I tried to explain that for a research paper the three articles (what was assigned) have to be from peer reviewed journals. Ooops. I hope she does okay on this assignment. That girl needs to get her grades up.
I'm glad I am optimistic today, and I think getting a head start on finishing my paper will help me feel better. Today there is a Raiders game and I have NFL Ticket so I get to watch it (yayyy!) and tomorrow there is a new House. I have a good couple of days ahead of me :)
