So today - Monday - I wanted SO MUCH to be grateful for something - I'M REALLY TRYING HARD today - should be easy but not in my can o nast world. I was grateful for yesterday - does that count? I was grateful that the wind didn't blow my golden leaves off no matter how hard it tried! So today - Monday - work day, just like that last 6 days so nothing out of the ordinary - except I work with an interesting person and 'it' was on a rampage today. Hurting 'itself' along the way with 'it's ' comments. You might think that I should say hurting me - but I feel that when ever someone goes on a rant, they only hurt themselves. I'm pretty thick skinned, from past scaring to the heart, so I decided to kindly stand there and take it. (My multiple took over and protected the rest of us inside from the rant). When 'it' was finished I said - well, I guess I should work on that. No angered response, no finger pointing, no revenge. I was already damaged goods when I arrived so it didn't matter really what was presented to me today at 3:45 am..... I decided to rather focus on a quote that is quickly becoming part of my morning mantra (learning a new one each day)... it's by Elder F Enzio Busche - where among about 15 different things I focused on this one: "Never judge anyone, if you accept this you will be free. In the case of your own children or subordinates, where you have the opportunity or responsibility to judge, help them to become their own judge." So even though I wanted to say - have a great day you freaking wench of a person.... I didn't, and I actually didn't even think of it. I rejoiced in the concept that mean people will have whatever they say to someone else, will have it come back to them 10 fold one day. (thus, The Color Purple) I'm just sayin. Today I'm grateful that I am judged by a far greater judge, one more worthy to judge, and who judges me out of love, so that I can return back to him someday. (oh - and I'm grateful for snow... and hot chocolate)
