hurting

What a day yesterday was.  I found a note at work to me that was fairly nasty and hurtful left in an area that anyone could have read and on top of it, it was false.  We will see what happens when I get to work today.  I also came home to some comments that I am sure my husband did not mean the way I took it, but it was still hurtful.  Again it was my fault, so I had to take some time to tell myself that is not what was said or meant.  I went to bed at 8 last night just to keep from blowing and causing an argument.  I just had to spend some time by myself praying and forgiving.  I could so easily dwell on this and blow this totally out of proportion.  So this is a test of my new learning and not falling back into the "oh me" syndrome.  This is a process that thankfully I am in progress.  At least this time I took the time to back up and pray and walk away from the escalation that could have been.  I just wish it was over and I already have my new mind, and could just go on, but this is truly a process that is not quick and easy.  I am so thankful for a God that loves me enough to have the patience He has for me and the guidance He is giving.  I am very thankful for friends that have been following my blog and have been a huge encouragement to me.  I am thankful for this time of year that forces us to give thanks.  I am trying to make this a part of my daily life though, not just one month of the year.  Well time to get ready for work.  I pray that it will be a good day. God bless.
