Unwritten

"Every day is another page that's added to my story
Sometimes it's like, I see my life open right before me
More than all the chapters of my life,
I'm thankful for what's not in black and white

For the roads I've never traveled, for the pain I never knew
For the places that you kept me from, Father I thank you
For the days that were not wasted,
For the days that were not spent in vain
I'm grateful for the days that remain, unwritten

Through twists and turns, Lord I've learned
Any place I'm going, you're mercy's been with me in
Always that I could know and through the miles and all I've seen and done
there's so much you have protected my heart from

For the roads I've never traveled, for the pain I never knew

For the places that you kept me from, Father I thank you
For the days that were not wasted
For the days that were not spent in vain
I'm grateful for the days that remain, unwritten

From cover to cover I've been sheltered by your grace
for so long, in so many untold ways

For the roads I've never traveled, for the pain I never knew

For the places that you kept me from, Father I thank you
For the days that were not wasted
For the days that were not spent in vain
I'm grateful for the days that remain, unwritten"

Hilary Weeks's "Unwritten"

Today was one of those days that reminded me that I need to show more gratitude. I could have ended up a lot worse, under the circumstances. So here's a list of gratitudes:

  • Not being internally decapitated
  • Not being externally decapitated
  • The music that bouy's my weary heart up
  • Friends that do the same.
  • Always and forever, my family. All crazy, insane, infuriating members of my family.
  • The Gospel.
  • My work, that allows me to make a small difference in somebody's life every day.
  • The determination and perserverance to make it through anything.
  • Finding that I don't need anyone to survive, but that I have everyone I need to thrive.
  • Knowing that part of being happy is the choice to be happy
  • Learning my weaknesses, and through them, learning my strengths.
  • Living in a place where outside activity is plentiful
  • Learning who I am.

Recharge

I need a recharge. Every negative person and negative comment from about five this evening has been and is cancerous to my ridiculous cheerful demeanour. I am annoyed that I only allowed myself to feel hungry for a little while, although tomorrow is a new day for that.

In the grand scheme of things, if the worst thing I can say about my day is that, we ran two emergent calls and got the things we needed to do, done, then it's been a good day.

I think my lack of days off is where this grump is coming from. I need some time off ( while still getting paid! ) or a nap. Or reese's.

Please leave the light on.

Have you ever had one of those days where you said all the wrong things, you broke everything you touched, all your important plans fell through. You find out your coworker left without saying goodbye, or even hinting they may be leaving. You get insulted and you feel hideous, physically and otherwise?


That was today.

In the grand scheme of things, if that's the worst I can say about my day, all in all, it can't have been too bad a of a day, right?

Two songs I love played tonight on the radio though, If you're going through hell. Love it
And I'll pray for you. Love it also!
