Hey guys! I took a day off work today to try and put to death this damn cold that's been hanging on, it makes me nuts! It's hard enough to stay sane when I'm healthy let alone when I feel like I'm walking on a cloud. Anyway, the sore throat is gone, hooray. So today while I was resting, I decided to do something positive rather than sit around and sink into the depths of stinkin' thinkin'. So, I got out my quote book and had a great idea, I'd pick out some of my favourite quotes and bible verses, print them and frame them. I have a bunch of cheap frames hanging around and some craft supplies the kids have and I went to work. I now have a framed Philippians 4:8 and a quote from John Wesley hanging in my living room. They look pretty darn good too. I made up a couple more to hang up in my office at work, I even made one for my XW for Valentine's day. Yes, I've decided to give her something. I thought long and hard about it and decided that as a Christian it was my duty to be loving and forgiving, btw she has invited me for Valentine's Day dinner with the kids. I made a framed quote by Thich That Than which reads "sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy" W has an incredible smile. Anyway, I thought it was non-mushy yet creative. I think it's the right thing to do on this occassion and whether she got me anything is neither here nor there. I'm letting my faith lead me on this one, it feels right. Now, today I was waiting for the elevator and my laundry hamper buddy approached and she began conversing with me, asking how I was etc. It was nice to see a smile when she saw me, it means my reaching out to others in these small ways is paying off. Little steps! I also got to meet her H...oh well, I still have my laundry hamper
