It's been entirely too long.....

I havent' felt like writing in a very long time.  But today my body is nearly shaking from stress and exhaustion.  Not because anything in particular in my life is stressing me out, but because life is just sometimes stressful.   I've spent a lot of time lately complaining to my friends and relatives about what I don't like about my life, i.e. my job.  Which now seems so silly to complain about when I'm happy with everything else!  But considering I spend 8 of my 16 waking hours at my job it's not surprising that I feel a bit stressed when I'm unhappy here. But here's the thing....I actually have a pretty good job.  I like the people I work with, Chris comes to work with me and attends the preschool here - FOR FREE,  and I have a family-friendly boss who completely understands when I need to take off again because TJ is sick.  So what is it that I don't like?  Well, lots of things that If I start listing will only put me in a bad mood and enhance the feeling of wanting to run away.  But the bad thing about running away is I always have to bring myself.  And it is me who needs to change my attitude and accept the things I cannot change and embrace the good points of this job.  It may not be the career I foresee myself in for the next 30 years, but this is where God has put me right now, and that is reason enough to do the best I can.
