Sick and Tired Of

Having one of those I'm "Sick & Tired" of days. I am sick and tired of coming home after a long day of work and cleaning, and cleaning on the weekends, and having to figure out what to make or pick-up for dinner. That's how I was feeling a little while ago. Then, I began reflecting on this attitude of mine. I started feeling guilty and began asking myself, "How can you be angry when you have so much to be thankful for."

I know at times we all feel overwhelmed and exhausted and "tired of" the same old same old. I have SO MUCH to be thankful for. A loving husband who cares for me & is home with me every night, wonderful family who love and support me, friends who would drop everything in half a second if I ever needed them. I have a job in this AWFUL economy, a job that I REALLY like.

With that being said, I work with people every day that have 6 months or less to live. Working with people toward the end of their lives, really makes you reflect on your own life. Bottom line is, life is TOO SHORT to spend any time being miserable or feeling sorry for yourself. God has a plan for me, for you, for everyone and I really believe in my heart, he won't give us anything we can't handle.

As I was cleaning off the desk in the spare room, feeling frustrated today, I came across an old "fortune" from a fortune cookie laying on the desk.

It read, "Ask yourself this question: "Is my attitude worth catching?"

So, I ask anyone who is reading this blog entry today to please reflect on that question. I know I will...

Back to cleaning and organizing around the house. Planning on doing so with a BETTER ATTITUDE.
