OJ

January 14th, 2012

Orange juice has lead me to one conclusion : life is difficult and always will be. The ducks will never be in a row. (This is not a bad thing)

Resetting the Compass – Day 14

I love that commercial where someone is sitting sitting around their breakfast table with all the problems that are going to be thrown at them during the day and they raise their glass and say good thing I got my OJ. That is my day today. Patriot/Bronco game – going to be frigid – 8 degrees by game time. Husband’s truck- alternator gone. Daughter’s car that we’re taking to the game – needs an emergency oil change or the sensor will shut the car down. Money – what can we ever say about that except there’s never enough. Good thing I got my OJ – oops, I forgot, I hate orange juice.

I need another avenue. Peace. Good thing I got my peace. I got it in a reading this morning that saved me from having to learn to like orange juice. It said:

“If we can find peace, we can act with grace and dignity, our decisions become clearer and less influenced by tension, we can allow things to happen to us and around us without losing our composure – and not because we’re in control, but because we’re completely sure there’s no need to be in control.” ~ Tom Walsh

Hmmmm…..better than orange juice.

And so, as another day goes by, orange juice will freeze solid tonight, but peace will keep me warm, and….I have written.
