Small things can change your mood.

As I got ready for work today, I decided to do something for one of my campuses so I stopped and got them Shipley's Donuts.  Just a spur of the moment thing but isn't it funny how doing such a small thing can change your mood for the day.

Then, as I was driving down Texas Avenue to the school I found myself behind an electrician's truck.  I noticed that he had left a box of those little yellow thingys you screw on the ends of wires to cap them so that they aren't bare and can't shock someone.  It held a bunch of them, so I decided to follow him and let him know.  Just as we turned a corner they went flying, but luckily he pulled into a quick stop and I pulled in behind him.  Rolled down my window and told him what had just happen - he smiled a "thank you" and went to retrieve them.  Again, such a small thing can change your mood.

Once I arrived at school, I delivered the donuts to smiles and greetings.  I'm thinking, wow - this is going to be a great day!

But then, I began reading my email and found that one of my favorite people in the world is REALLY moving on to a new chapter in her life.  It's been kind of like I knew it but wasn't accepting it literally; however, this morning her job was posted.  That's a slap in the face of reality.  I'm going to miss her so.  Posting a job opening, such a small thing but WOW can it change your mood.  I gonna miss you friend!
