What does a bad day mean to you?

I learn something new everyday. Im determined. Today I learned that if accounting doesnt work out, Ill just be a couponing/money saving houswife. It works. And it uses complete logic! (: In other news, today has not been a good day. However this caused me to learn something else! When you think about it, I have a life that many people long for, even on my bad days. Think about things. I, like most of you, had 3 full meals today (sorta). And even if I havent had 3 meals, i had the oppurtunity to have them. Also, I walk around a college campus all day attending classes. This pops out huge for me for 2 reasons. Im a girl, therefore in most countries, id be lucky to get the equivalent of a second grade education. As you can tell, I am far ahead of that. As I sat there complaining about a test that I couldve studied harder for, I shouldve been thanking God that I had the oppurtunity to go to classes, and get such a high education. Also, take a look around any public building. Where you work/ go to school/ shop/ etc. There are water fountains everywhere!! We have access to clean, pure, drinkable water. My sponser child in Hatti just turned 4. Her and her sisters walk apx 3 miles EVERY DAY just to get water that is simply oka and will not make them sick. And yet I tske advantage of it everyday as I walk right past it. So now my question is, how can I change this perspective? Something to work on in the days to come!
