Reality check

I got up early this morning and ran some errands, went to the tanning bed, stopped by a friends house to wish her happy birthday, and grabbed some soup for lunch. I came home and decided I wanted to be lazy and just lounge/nap until going out with some friends tonight. I was almost half asleep when my phone rang, it was my friend that is currently in a rehab facility about 3 1/2 hours from home (long story). He gets about 15-30 minutes a day on the phone and he usually calls his parents and me. :) He got longer time on the phone today because its visitation day. Everyone else in the facility had visitors except for him and 2 other people. This makes me feel bad, but he says it doesn't bother him. He usually doesn't talk about to much on the phone, not enough time; but today was different. He's slowly telling me more and more about his past, which doesn't change how I feel about him, it only makes me care more and realize how much he has changed. He also talked about what he was going do today and how he gets bored because there isn't much to do (obviously he isn't allowed to do much). This made me feel bad for how I wanted to spend my day and reminded me that there are better ways to spend my time rather than sleeping.
So I'm more motivated now, I'm going to work on mid-term study guides, take my dog for a walk and especially cherish the time I get to spend tonight with some close friends! Last night I got to enjoy time with my best friend, her husband and his mom. We didn't go out and eat a fancy meal, or go spend money on a movie. We played monopoly for almost 3 hours! And it was the most fun I have had in a very long time. It's amazing what joy the simplest things can bring you in life!
