Today blows. No really it does. Some days just stink and today is one of those days. I could feel it was going to be this way when my hurting and aching back kept me up a lot of the night. I could sense it as I arrived to work and people were draggy. I knew it within myself, I was grumpy and out of sorts. Today blows. And then someone, the same one from this post, threw a fit about something so insignificant and ridiculous that I got upset. This particular person is going to end up in a lot of my posts because they can often be like sandpaper on my days. So my day went from grumpy to tears in about the span of 10 minutes. I went and hid in the bathroom for a few minutes trying to compose myself. And then since I'm a girl I couldn't just suck it up so I sat in my boss' office and cried in front of him. *smh* The thing is, their little ridiculous fits shouldn't upset me.

What I'll need is to remember one thing, that the Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble and He is the King of [MY] Jungle." (Steven Curtis Chapman - King of the Jungle) My Gratitude Attitude for today is that in my jungle I have a King who sees all, even what I don't see, and who cares about every minute detail of what's going on. I have a King who is Lord over the sunshine days and the foggy days.
The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education. Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement. However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term. We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.
