Someone I work with recently asked me if I was ever in a bad mood. I laughed. Of course I am. But unless you share the house with me, grew up with me or are one of my confidants, you may not know it. I certainly am not going to be a cranky-spanky as the first face you see walking into the salon. That wouldn't be good at all.
Back in my Verizon days, I worked with a guy named Vinnnie. He was always jovial. He started his work day with a smile on his face and ended it with a smile. I was always thoroughly impressed by that and I mentioned it to him. His response, which has stayed with me more than 25 years later, was simple. He pointed to the cross he wore every day that hung over his tie, and answered, "If I am awake, and I can be of service, I can't have a bad day. Only God can give me a bad day, and so far, I haven't had one."
I thought that was a lovely sentiment. I was totally in my "seeking faith" mode at that point in time and as such, I remember thinking that it was a lot of hooey, but, it worked for Vinnie. And yet, here I am, years later, writing about prayers and positive thinking. Although, if you've been with me a while you KNOW it isn't all happy-happy, joy-joy. Sometimes I fake it. Find me someone who doesn't.
A couple of updates:
Jake Anders, Amy & Jeff's 11 year old son, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and will have surgery on Tuesday at Reilly Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. I humbly ask all healers to do your thing. I do not have a time yet. I will post that when I find it out.
Robin's friend, Tammy, is doing well today. She has had just one contraction. Baby Jacob remains in-utero where he will hopefully stay until he is full term. Please send healing thoughts out to them. They too are in Indiana.
