.I am not bragging, a lot of people cut the grass...but...It is amazing to me how many times I can look out over my lawn and smile with pride at the fact that I've cut the grass. Progress, that's the feeling I get from it. Life is all about the little things. Note to self: focus on the little things today.

MY WORD, IT'S WEDNESDAY

Oh, I don't remember her name, but I overheard a lady telling her friend that she was "between a rock and a hard place", and that brought it to my memory the time I felt that way. What I thought was me just being lazy or needing to "knuckle down" was really me being overwhelmed with responsibility. The kind of responsibility that wasn't "my" responsibility. However, I was made to feel so. I was at the stage where I was "long in the tooth"; I was not young anymore. When dealing with my own health, well-being, and sense of self-worth, I was weak. I could handle it, but just handle it at a much slower pace. That's when I realized that I knew the lady. Her story is an intense one.

You see, there was the local prostitute who had five children with a man who seemed to get "satisfaction" from thinking he was "exempt" from any responsibility of his own life. He was an "absent" father to his children from his marriage of thirty years. Maybe it was a "combination" of his lack of listening to an "echo" from the Holy Spirit, and the fact that all he wanted to do was have "fun".

Either way, this was the wife. His wife, who felt empty of the love that she deserved from a husband who never grew up. He wasn't mature while thinking the world revolved around him instead of the sun. Good Grief!
