This is the Stuff

Yesterday was a bit of a tough day for me:
- my shower rod fell, so my bathroom was in disarray
- I didn't have time to eat breakfast or make lunch
- I also didn't have time to do my make-up
- I tried to call my sister, but my phone hung-up on her since I ran out of Etisalat (that's the phone company) funds
- I didn't want to walk across the street to get food because I'm tired of eating out, but I also don't want to cook because my stove is dirty
- my apartment was a mess because I am in the middle of decorating/organizing

What's funny is that all the things that I was upset about are normal things. I would be upset about them if I were in Abu Dhabi or at home in the States. And it's not just me. A friend of mine was also a little put-off because the metro was running behind, she didn't have time to make her lunch, her office was a little hectic, etc. It's just the little things of life that can sometimes get us down.

But I am reminded how small these "little messes" are when I remember what "big blessings" I have in close friends and family, whether here in Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the world! :-)
