I'm also convinced that I'm very easily amused and I have no problem with that.
I'm further convinced that the Father likes to love me with those little things (why I'm ok with number 2.)
Due to the Chinese Holiday of Tomb Sweeping Festival we have 3 days off. That doesn't mean 3 days plus the weekend, it means 3 days off - Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. So Saturday becomes Monday classes and Sunday becomes Tuesday classes. Unfortunately, I have 5 out of my 8 classes on Monday and Tuesday. This means that instead of teaching 8 classes for 5 days in a row, I taught 13 classes for 7 days in a row. It had been a rough week not just teaching wise, but with sp. attack too. Don't feel sorry for me, I'm just explaining I was pooped.
As I finally walked back to my apartment I heard the popping and scraping I hadn't heard in a long, long time. My senses awakened and suddenly jerked back into reality.
What was that?!
I looked down to see a 5 inch stick/twig in front of me. That's awesome! I was suddenly filled with joy. (Apparently nature is a little more important to me than I realized. Living in a city of 7 million people, sometimes I miss nature and dont' really realize it.) I just loved the innocence of kicking a stick down the road and enjoying it. I loved the sound of a hollow stick bouncing and dragging along the sidewalk. My normal 3 min stretch of the journey ended up taking about 10 min to make it back as I zig-zagged all over chasing down my stick as I kicked it along.
I say all of this to enjoy the Father knowing us so well and giving us little things to show us He cares. I Ask that He would give and you would find the little things so relieving too.
