This is one of those Fridays I wish I could forget. It started out on a sour note and caused the rest of the day to viewed upon with a bad attitude.
I’m glad it’s Friday as that means the weekend is here, but I just feel like nothing got accomplished this past week and I’m racing to get things done: I have a website update that was promised yesterday, trying to sand down some spots on my office door so it will close freely (which now causes more painting to be done), I have to call a client, send a FedEx, ate a fast food chicken sandwich that is making me nauseous, have a friend coming in from out of town–all the while my oldest daughter is in my family room waiting on me so I can run some errands with her. That doesn’t even include the crappy situation that arose this morning!
However, after writing all that out, I know that these are things to be done and that time will wait for me to be completed. I shouldn’t stress or despair or have a negative attitude. I mean, things could be worse…much worse! Even then, because of who I am and whose Spirit is in me, I would have no excuse to complain. I just need to be patient, focused, at-peace, and appreciate all the positive things that have this week: My home office 99.5% complete, I’ve got to visit with my oldest 3 times this week, It’s 80 degrees and sunny near the end of October, I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach, and amazing friends that I wouldn’t trade for anyone else!
It’s easy to make today about me and my junk, but I choose not to. Part of that is reminding myself through writing this out. I have a lot to be thankful for, which I will not lose sight of because of my circumstances today.
Happy Friday!
