WoMan vs. Herself

grr. Ive been praying alot lateley about my attitude. I seem to allow anger to be triggered too easily these days. Especially at work. I love my job and what I do, but I am usualy the only person there and responsible for everything that happens. So I am tempted to feel sorry for myself and unappreciated and taken advantage of - at least that is how I justify being and assface.

So this morning I armed myself with prayer and an earnest attempt to not overeact or be too self involved. Last week I had left my employer ( and friend) a card at her home about how much I appreciate her friendship and what not and apoligizing for a terrible attitude the week before that we had worked together. She returns today from a week long vacation, these days can be a real test.. Alot of catchup and explaining to do - and in my mind proving myself.
I felt so good about making the right decision with the card, but now I am wishing it were not out there because what if I totaly screw up again and behave badly? Now that I have made the decision to be good, I have to be good. I just dont trust myself I guess. I have become too comfortable with the other angry me. Its like I see it as my right to act the way I want because of how hard I work here.


Here's to defying my flesh and really giving humility a try!

Retired

Bunnycat has made it to the good life. While visiting Mom and Dad in Greer, SC we dropped off bunnycat. This is Bun here:




He's sweet and fat and deserves a life free of Bizzystix - the rambunctious boston terrier.. Now he will live out the rest of his days with a woman that will spoil him, a yard to run and play in and two other friendly kitties to gossip with.
I will miss my Bunnycat, but hes not that far away and I can visit him anytime!

Fourth Of July

Harvey and Biz and I have been enjoying the holiday weekend in SC with my parents.
We always celebrate my Fathers birthday (july 3rd) along with Independence day.
Its been hot, but not as humid as it is in Nashville. Thats a nice break.
My parents backyard is something of a spectacle. Its very large, and full of plants flowers and trees. Bizzy and I spent a nice afternoon out there exploring while Harvey and Dad went to the driving range. He's getting in some practice with a pro.
By pro, I mean a man whose been playing golf since before I was born.



Biz loves to run the length of this yard. I was able to get a shot while he was still for a moment.



We've been playing fetch with the fallen pears off one of the trees in the back yard.. He loves to chase them though he stops quite often to nibble on them!



We found a clump of Ivey that is home to millions of Elder bugs. At least I think that is what they are called. Its so interesting how they clump together... Curious and pretty little bugs.
