Thankful for the reminders.

Job hours are cut, class is tiring, sleep is sometimes off the menu, and weekends seem to get shorter. And it only reminds me of how fortunate and spoiled I am.  Hours cut at work reminds me that having a job at all is a blessing. The tiring feeling coming home from work reminds me the value of each dollar I earn, reminding me how to spend wisely because in this economy, the case isn't "money ain't a thang". The tedious hours of studying reminds of how lucky I am to have caring parents to support me and my future. The lack of sleep reminds me of that sweet feeling when you fall asleep wrapped in 3 layers of comforter while it's freezing cold outside and the refreshment of waking up. The seemingly shorter weekends remind me to take advantage of each hour that I can spend with family, friends, and homework.

Having looked at the hard-knock times brings the appreciation of the good big/small/everything-in-the-middle blessings...because too much of a good thing makes you forget how good it is.

P.S. Look at the brighter side =]
