Day 66 - Don't pray for Humility if you don't want to be humbled.

“I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”
~Mahatma Gandhi quotes~

******

Today I'm grateful for:

recovering from my humility lesson. My back is killing me and I'm covered in bruises, but hey, I'm alive and I have not killed the dog.

winning the respect of the 4th grade class. Amanda told me "they were quiet, dude, that says it right there"

Tylenol. The man is chugging it for the flue, I'm chugging it for the pain. Without it we'd both be bedridden.

all you can eat Sunday at the church cafe. It's only $1 and saves me a fortune.

Sunday drum lessons. With each rhythmic beat of the Pixie's drum, I hear a unique beat.

the phrase "practice makes perfect". Now, I need to get it from my lips to the Pixies head. Want a drum set? PRACTICE MORE.

Sundays.

little girl forgiveness. Well, at least I hope they forgive me. We were supposed to ride together today only Roxie is jacked and so is my back. They looked so upset with me when they left :(

warm weather. At least for the next few days.

Roy and Wilson are still getting along. Thank goodness cuz I'm in no condition to take him for a walk.

not all of God's lessons being THIS painful.

Remember those VooDoo dolls I was telling you about?

Day 65 - Chicken Noodle Soup

When an illness knocks you on your ass, you should stay down and relax for a while before trying to get back up. ~Candea Core-Starke~

Today I'm grateful for:

not being the sick one. My poor man is currently in sweats, his bathrobe and piled under 2 blankets topped by a hamster.

chicken soup. Mine is a mile better than his Mommas but only cuz it's here and not 5 miles away at her house.

being ahead of schedule. The bulk of my chores for today and tomorrow are done. There is ONE advantage to waking at 6 AM on a Saturday *yawns*

a dust free environment. You can no longer write your name in the dust on my furniture and my two bathrooms are still clean. Next week the floors!

being prepared for tween scrutiny. The Church At Argyle's 4th Grade class wont know what hit it. Bring it on kiddies! *pretends to be brave*

the prospect of a warm afternoon. I CAN'T WAIT to get on the big pink bike! Roy is pretty excited too. I can tell.

sparkly new running shoes. If you're going to learn to run, your equipment may as well sparkle.

Roy and Wilson's continuing friendship.

quiet. At least till the slumber party is over.

God. He's with me today. Even though I yelled at him over yellow jellybeans and power surges.

hamster hoodies. Yup, I did

Roy and I not being hurt worse.
