As I enter the confessional this evening I do so after a week of experiencing a wide range of emotions, stress, fears and questions about where my life, in general, is headed. I’ve been concerned about how bills, especially the mortgage, are going to get paid. I’ve been frustrated that after more than three weeks on the market, we’ve not had even the first nibble on the house. Everyone keeps telling me the house is beautiful and should sell with no problem. That’s a nice thought, but it’s frustrating that nobody has scheduled a viewing. On top of all that, I get a call from my very dear friend, Fritz, yesterday telling me that he has been laid off from his job. Certainly, that puts things in perspective for me.
In spite of the clutter that has been in my mind this week, the trials and tribulations that have been, I know, beyond the shadow of any doubt, that I’m blessed. I have so much for which to be grateful. I have friends who truly care about me. I have talents and gifts others would envy. I have a job. I have a little bit of money. I have a place to live. I want for very little.
Here’s my confession: I am grateful for these wonderful blessings in my life, the many lessons I’ve learned in the last year. This blog entry was actually supposed to be more about the events of the last year, the lessons I’ve learned, but somehow I couldn’t get my mind into it. I’m hoping that blog will come out in the next few days. It is there, rambling around in my head. Meanwhile, it is with gratitude that I close tonight’s blog. I am looking to getting back into focusing on this blog. Thank you for reading, for your love and your support. YOU fill my heart with gratitude!
