Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

It's been a great day!

Hello blogger friends, I have to say that this day has been fun, interesting and quite entertaining. Our work schedule today looked very heavy, but the doc was sick so we had to reschedule patients. Now after he has coughed everywhere a thousand times in one hour, he tells me that I better not be sick on Monday (the schedule is really heavy). HA HA HA - will he is right I better not be - like I want to be sick, NOT!!! Do you suppose that if he would stop coughing or stay away from me, that I would stand a better chance of not getting sick?? Despite him being sick, we really did have a fun afternoon. I know that sounds weird, but you just had to be there.

I have been whining and complaining this week and I don't like me when I do that, I can only imagine what the people around me think. SORRY! Well yesterday I was thinking about my whining state of mind and how I should just get over it, it is what it is. Suck it up and move on!
I started thinking about how fortunate I was to have a job, a home and a family, etc. and I was ashamed of my whining. And then today I am blogging and ran across the following prayer on another site. So speaking to whinny me........

Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the dishes & laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.
Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is salvation. Your love is never ending. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.


Wow!!! All I can say is AMEN.

Live, Laugh, Love,
Donna

Talk about convicting. Boy that prayer is something to think about. How many times have I been guilty of everyone of those items listed.
