Get with the program

I put in a long day at work today. When I got to my car and saw that the windshield was covered with ice, I realized I didn't have an ice scraper in the car yet. Time to get with the program. It is November and winter weather is here. First thing I did when I got home is put a scraper in the car. Sometimes I am just slow.

I need to let go

I have feelings of resentment toward someone in my life. I know these are not feelings that God approves of. I know I need to let these feelings go but I am really struggling to do that. The hard part of this for me is I haven't shared the feelings with the person. If I did, it would only cause them pain. I think they can sense these feelings I have for them and that doesn't feel too good. Have you ever had feelings of resentment against someone? If so, were you able to let them go? If so, how?

A word of advice

So many times Gerrell told me I should back up the files on my hard drive. A few years ago he bought me an external hard drive to hold all of my pictures, iTunes music. He encouraged me to copy everything to discs in case anything happened to the hard drive. Well, that was something I kept putting off and putting off and never got accomplished. Now it looks like the hard drive is shot and I have lost my pictures and my music. Why don't I listen when good advice is given?

Season of dread

Yesterday I went to say goodbye to my Grandma who is dying. This is the 3rd year in a row I have had to say goodbye to someone this time of year.
November 5th 2008--said goodbye to Grandma
November 4th 2007--said goodbye to Gerrell's uncle Harold
November 9th 2006---said goodbye to Gerrell

I think I am going to dread Novembers arrival for years to come. It has just been a really sad time of the year.

Real reason for blogging

I think one of the reasons I haven't really gotten into blog writing is because I didn't think anyone read my blog anyway. Tonight someone told me they are still checking my blog so I guess at least one person does. After that, I began to think about the real reason to write a blog. Maybe it shouldn't be just for others to read but instead be a way for me to write my thoughts, feelings, etc--my own personal therapy. I think that is how I will look at if from now on. And maybe I will do it more often.
