Dear Diary,
Let’s see…Where to begin?
So my first call of the morning was
from a close friend calling to say his doctor just called…That diagnosis about
his cancer spreading? Seems they got that wrong. (Thank you, God!)
My second aha moment was when
Minsky, my 14 year old lhasa poo that went lame last week (yeah, the same one I
was told wouldn’t make it without surgery)…Well, she walked by herself up the steps
today. And she spent a good deal of her morning after that chasing a ball.
(Something even I was convinced she might never do again.) Again, just goes to
prove…
So my biggest problem after all
this was an a/c unit that went out 2 days ago. Next call came from a contractor
friend who (now that I have you on the line, might you know someone…?) Turns
out…yes, he did. That same someone was able to work me in before the storms
hit, fixing my little problem to a tune far less than what a replacement unit
would’ve cost me (“replacement” being the word the last repairman used last fall).
Meanwhile, yes, there were storms.
Yes, tornados (even now) threaten. I’m not saying everyday comes up roses. But
what I am saying is that there are forces greater than our human abilities to
comprehend at work. THIS I believe with all my heart. And when things look
dire, more and more I am learning that if I can wait them out…if I can but
override my human tendency to fear the worst, that these too come with a
blessing tied in there somehow; my job…to wait for the hand to play out.
Karen Carpenter once sang of Rainy
Days and Mondays (and today was certainly a rainy day). But I’m here to write
about Miracle Days and Mondays. For I have come to accept that there are clouds
and there are linings. More and more I'm convinced a lot has to do with how you view it and what you're looking for.
