1.30.10

This is such a big world and sometimes sitting behind my lap top, I feel I am shrinking from it. Today, I had a friend lose a parent, tragically. I played catch up with another “old” friend who decided that my life was pathetic in a tear she shed for my job loss and divorce. “It’s ok”, I say, “really”, but then, maybe it’s good that I allow someone a moment of feeling. My 4 yr old son hits me in the way that children do when they just got to let it out. I am not mad but of course I have to strongly counsel him because we are in front of others who have small children of their own. I wrote in a note the other day that God sends problems my way because he knows I am easily bored. But, I know I am going to be ok. All the time, I just kind of say to God, “you do what you want with me” but let me teach others how to navigate through life. Things good and bad happen to us and the events of today may appear all bad, but not really. I took only the good that could be had from this day in treasuring my son for all that he is, realizing my personal power and resiliency and taking reassurance that God has a plan for all of us. Remember the jingle, "you take the good, you take the bad, and ...there you have the facts of life." Good night!!
