This was a tough week. Not a bad week, just tough.Deadlines to meet. . .customers to see. . .reports to prepare. . .projects to complete. . .events to attend. . .phone calls to return. . .etc. My 'to-do' list required more time than I had, assuming I intended to sleep. And this girl needs her sleep!
I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Until I read an email from an acquaintance. This is how the email began:
"Hi Sandra - this is being done in a hurry, I start chemo tomorrow . . ."
That's where I stopped reading and took a deep breath. In the next second, I had a moment of clarity and a sense of gratitude rushed over me. I live a wonderfully blessed life!
- My marriage is thriving
- My son is strong, healthy, and handsome
- My body is strong and disease free
- We are all gainfully employed at jobs we enjoy
- My circle of friends are all well, happy, and spiritually grounded
My tough week wasn't so tough at all. Actually, I've endured worse. Alot worse.
So, I think I will just be quiet for awhile, pray for my acquaintenance's full recovery, and thank God for His many, many, blessings.
