Even Bendy has her moments.....


Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm very laid back and normally very happy.

However...

For the last three days I have fought hormonal rage. I think yesterday was the worst. I was armed and ready to bend a dear friend of mine into a pretzel for fidgeting. Poor guy didn't know how close to danger he came! I was confident that today would be different. I felt much calmer.

Then it happened.....

I had been at my desk for 5 minutes when absolutely my worst annoying coworker (ACW) waltzed into my office. All I ask is that you cut to the chase, tell me what you need, and exit quietly. Well, steps one and two were taken, but step three was blown all to hell. ACW opened her mouth about something that happened yesterday which spurned me to send out an email warning that phones were to be used for customers and not chatting back and forth to one another, because calls were MONITORED. ACW quipped "I'm sure it was probably me and so-n-so."

That is the exact moment that I lost my mind....

I informed ACW that it was indeed her and another party talking about yet another co-worker and that was not appropriate. ACW had the audacity to say "Well I always fess up when I'm guilty." You see, ACW has the idea that it's always okay to do what she wishes then ask forgiveness later. As the words exited her mouth, I think she saw the glint in my eye and the stapler in my hand because she made a hasty exit.

I have since turned on the soothing music and am experiencing peace.....Ahhhhhhh....

The next leg of the journey…..

Last night after work, I drove to Cumberland, sat down with Mary and completed my paperwork for admission to the Massage Therapy program. Woo! Woo! Needless to say, I was and still am very excited. This is what I’m supposed to do…where I’m supposed to be. Who knows what will happen once I graduate, but I’m confident that there is a divine plan in place and this leg of my journey is a necessity.

So, I will live frugally for the next two years of my life and it will all be worth it!!

The Breath From A Sigh...

Yesterday was a dismal day. Gray, rainy, icky. The kind of day that makes one wish they'd stayed at home in bed. There were times throughout when the drizzle turned to a downpour, then back to a drizzle again. Finally, toward the end of the day, the waterworks stopped.

I got into my car a little after 4:30 and as I pulled from the lot, I noticed the most brilliant rainbow that I had ever seen. Each color was so distinctive and so radiant that it looked like a tapestry in the sky. Like you could physically reach out and touch it. As I rounded the corner, I saw the other end....equally as brilliant, and mirrored by a second rainbow....more faint in color.

As I was drawn into the magic of color, Chris Tomlin's "Indescribable" started playing. The moment was perfect. If you are not familiar with the song, here are the lyrics.....

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeableYou see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Incomparable, Unchangeable,You see the depths of my heart and you love me the same.
You are amazing God

Ahhhhhhhhh........ Yes...You are truly amazing......
