This past week had its challenges. <\/p>\n

Those challenges led to a very underwhelming work week.<\/p>\n

But as difficult as the week was, it was “good” for me and it led to taking Friday – Sunday (today)…completely OFF!<\/p>\n

Bear and I went to town on Friday morning – EARLY! We stopped for a walk on the way and then I took my time doing some food shopping at a few locations – locations with good shade parking and it was early.<\/p>\n

Then I had a chance to talk with my boss and friend of 13 years duration and also my neighbor and friend of 8 years duration and I prayed and I thought and I finally settled and let go of the light work week and took the weekend to find my peace.<\/p>\n

I found it.<\/p>\n

I found peace in the kindness and thoughtfulness of my boss, my neighbor, my folks, and the quiet of my home space…<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.\u201d Charles Swindoll<\/em> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n

My reaction is quiet.<\/p>\n

And solitude.<\/p>\n

And time with dear Bear and Auggie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That tail – that tail alone makes me smile and laugh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this tail.<\/p>\n

This tail in sweet slumber on my bed.<\/p>\n

LOVE and PEACE!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And even the weather cooperated with cool temps…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and sweet rain!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweet tails\/tales of a week that is ultimately VERY good. I am grateful for the challenging, for the support, for the love and peace and for all lessons learned.<\/p>\n

Sweet tales indeed.<\/p>\n

*** in light of last week’s uber-light work week, this coming week will be head’s down and full speed ahead work-wise so posts may be light\/non-existent as I catch up. Happy Week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
