Today, November 9th, 2013, was one of those days I'd rather forget, and I held on to this post until I decided if I was going to just skip posting at all, but I have decided that I'm going to go ahead and post it even if it is a few hours late.
I felt beleaguered for most of the day, and kept wishing I had the luxury of just going back to bed, pulling the cover over my head and staying out of "harm's way", but life and obligations that I had freely accepted kept calling to me.
All during the day things kept "cropping up" that demanded my attention, money, time and energy or all three, and I felt like I was a couple of quarts low on each of them.
Sometime, however, toward evening, I became aware of a rather surprised feeling joining the other, more negative, ones, and that was a certainty that somewhere in my life in the last 20 years or so, I have made a quantum shift in perspective, and I realize that I am more comfortable being happy and upbeat than I was being morose and miserable.
I guess that describes the difference between being a victim and a thriver. I have to pay my respects to that shift, so I spent some time last night thanking God for having helped me to move what once seemed immovable!!
