Hello
friends, I haven’t been blogging for quite a while, I've been very busy with
everything. My family (wife and kids) got here in the US (finally!). I've been working
extra and helping out other facilities and been very busy with school finishing
my doctorate degree. So I guess I have all the excuses not to blog. I have been
out and about in the cyber world and it’s nice. Lol…
Well,
just today, we had winter weather. I was supposed to do some errands first
thing in the morning such as buy meds for my wife who is sick, do taxes and
work out. Unfortunately the snow stopped me from getting outside. I was a
little upset and frustrated. First, I haven’t been working out for more than a
month and would really love to get back in shape again and I also need to buy
medicine for my wife. Unfortunately, the snow stopped me and frustrated me. Our neighbors were also a little irritated because of the snow. But one thing I noticed
about my wife, she was happy and just enjoyed the snow, she even played outside
with the kids in the snow and had a positive attitude about it. Saying “Just
enjoy daddy.”
You
know what my friend, every day; we will have opportunities to get upset,
frustrated or get offended. You will have plans that will not work out, or
someone at work or a family member that is rude to you (not new to me).Maybe
you are supposed to do something that should have taken an hour and it ended up
taking six hours! Guess what my friend, reality is that, life is full of
inconveniences. We cannot control our circumstances, situation, weather and the
people around us, but we can definitely control our reaction. Life is all about
how you respond to it.
My wife
would always say that I should have a more positive attitude and expect God’s favor
We should always remember that most days will not go exactly as we plan. But
always remember that God created us to live in peace. If we get upset or
frustrated because you were late, or somebody at work offended you, you are
just giving away your power. So this is a warning to the people around me at
work or my family. I will no longer give away my power and will live at peace
and enjoy life! :-)
