Today

I spend a lot of time just thinking. It gets me in trouble. I’ve spent my whole life (it’s been a long one) using both brain cells waaaaayyyy too much. First, let me just say, I’m one blessed kid. Things have not always gone the way I wanted them to go. Life has had its disappointments. Like when I rescued a dachshund puppy and it morphed into a rat terrier. He’s 2 years old now, sweet as can be, but has the biggest antennae-like ears you’ve ever seen. But back to real disappointments.  I’ve had a few heart breaking losses this year. Business is still a concern. Spiritual struggles( stick with me long and you’ll find I’m a deeply spiritual Jesus lover) have wracked my heart this year. I hate conflict ( can’t we all just get along?) and this world is one crazy rat’s nest of hate and vitriol. So how can I say I’m so blessed? Because I’m grateful for every morsel of anything that falls through the hands of God to me. Death has taught me to take time, love more and appreciate every person and every minute. Slow business reminds me that the company isn’t ours, it’s His. And He can do whatever He wants, because He’s so Big AND He knows best. Spiritual struggles make me dig deeper to find truth, give me hope, give me direction and purpose.All that and so much more icing heaped on the life cake. Yep, and that icing is loaded with the sweetest sugar. So today, while it’s still today and tomorrow’s joys and sorrows wait for tomorrow, I can sit here and rock my big eared dog as he sleeps. Life is good.
