It was not a Good Day

Thought:  July 1, 2014

Sigh.  It was a rough day in the neighborhood.  Lots of stressful moments for many and even though we try our best to be peaceful…sometimes…we don’t succeed. 

I really try to be kind and I realize today that even I have my limits to how far kindness would take me.  Even though I did apologize for my weakness, I don’t feel good about how I handled the situation.  In fact it etched in my heart a mark that I know will never fade. 

Still, though life must go on and we just can’t give up.  We need to muster up whatever we can to rally through our trials and find it in our hearts to be forgiving of others and then of ourselves.  We can do without a lot of things in life, but for me, I need to have peace…if someone wants to show me that they love me…I count this as an added blessing. 

I will be honest with you and I am sure you may agree, that if we find we endured our trials and make it through another rough day, we know in our hearts that someone was watching over us.  I did not get through today without the help of my truest Friend.

What about you?  When you have difficult days, what helps you to keep your senses about you and find that positive rah, rah, rah to not give up?  Share your thoughts with us…Jeanne Claire Probst

Poem:  It was not a Good Day

I didn’t have a good day today.

Trouble came my way.

But I still had to do all the things I had to do;

Even though, I did not want to.

My heart weighed down with sadness,

My mind traveled at the speed of light…I was a mess,

Leaving my soul a ball of stress,

Still I gave enduring my best.

We all have days like this I am sure,

And I know that there will be more.

These kinds of days like to play,

And need a person in which to prey.

But it is night time now and I got through it somehow,

And I am trying to unwind and relax now,

As I aim to put the day behind me and try to get some sleep,

And I pray that whoever watched over me today will grant me peace.
