Today isn't even half over and already, this day sucks. - Well, it almost did.

I didn't sleep all too well last night and I woke up this morning with a pounding headache and stuffy nose. Don't you just hate that feeling? Plus, it was freezing this morning like it has been for the past two months. I don't know about y'all but I prefer sunshine over sweaters any day! I was almost late to work this morning cause my brother feels he needs a personal wake-up call from me every time it's time to head to work. So yeah, I just wasn't feeling it from the moment I got out of bed.

I get to work and there's HELLA stuff to do. I mean, I come to my desk and am already making a mental plan of what I want to get done first and I'm trying my best to stick to that order but every few minutes, my boss emails me with another task she needs done. Sheesh! It's not even the excessive workload that bothers me anymore, but the confusion its causing. I feel like I'm being bombarded from all angles with work, Work, WORK. Plus, the oh-so-reliable Payroll department once again forgot to include my wage increase on today's paycheck. Oh my goodness, I truly felt like I was gonna blow.

So I decided to take a longer lunch today and just get some fresh air. I drove down to Solano Mall, grabbed a bite to eat, and treated myself to a book at Barnes & Nobles. There are a few titles I'd like to get and most of them were available at the bookstore, but too expensive for me. So I decided to buy just one and it was a book that wasn't even on my wish list. It's called "No Greater Love" by Mother Theresa.

I'm so glad I opted for it! I read it the whole time I was at Panda Express, I hardly touched my lunch. There is this beautiful prayer written by Saint Francis that was adapted within the book. It goes like this:

"Make us worthy, Lord, to serve our fellow men throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger.

Give them, through our hands, this day their daily bread, and by our understanding Love, give Peace and Joy.

Lord, make me a channel of Thy Peace, that where there is hatred, I may bring Love; that where there is wrong, I may bring the Spirit of Forgivenessl that where there is discord, I may bring Harmony; that where there is error, I may bring Truth; that where there is doubt, I may bring Faith that where there is despair, I may bring Hope; that where there are shadows, I may bring Light; that where there is sadness, I may bring Joy.

Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted, to understand, than to be understood, to love, than to be loved, for it is by forgetting self that one finds, it is by forgiving that one is forgiven, it is by dying that one awakens to eternal life."

After reading that, I feel very uplifted. It's like all the stress I had for this day was gone just like that. I realized that I was bothering over petty things, things that really have no matter or substance in the bigger picture of it all. And after seeing it that way because of that prayer, I felt a whole lot better and hopefully, I can spread the same momentum.

I hope you all had or have a nice day today. YOU DESERVE IT!

I would like to talk to you.
