I want to rant and rave
I want to rant and rave and emotionally spew (sorry)
I want to rant today
I really, really do.
Clearly I'm not cut out to be a poet. So instead of ranting and raving and emotionally spewing I am going to flip my switch and try to re program my thoughts.
Blessing 5. I am so grateful that my children are out at the moment (their saving grace)
Blessing 6. I am grateful for the change in weather (Hello to my granny p'j's).
Blessing 7. I am grateful for the days work I got yesterday
Blessing 8. I am grateful I was booked for two days next week
I am grateful
I am grateful
I am grateful ...... I am interrupted by some unfinished ranting and ravings in my head (stress, stress, stress)
Blessing 9. I am grateful that I have things to be grateful for
Blessing 10. I am grateful for the little girl who yesterday said "Have a lollipop for being a great teacher".
Blessing 11. I am grateful for turning 50 soon (well okay, that's a bit of a stretch)
Blessing 12. I am grateful that stress reminds me that I have people to love
Blessing 13. Dear Lord, I am grateful for this blog where I can rant and rave
and in doing so put everything into perspective.
Blessing 14. I am grateful for being directed to this Original Serenity Prayer
by Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Hi, Mary! I see what you mean... I could have written all your posts too. I rather think we will indeed be good friends! And oh good grief, I have done that listing of blessings through gritted teeth on more days than I care to admit. I am on a runaway train. No doubt about that at all.
You will just love this corner of the blogging world. The bloggers on my sidebar are the most amazing bunch around, so go and have a look. I will be back!
