I’ve been looking at the storm clouds both literally and hypothetically. Work has been one deluge after another. I have really let the world get me down. My insistence to focus on “should be” and “should have been” scenarios really left me feeling empty and bitter. It all came boiling up inside me today when I overheard my boss talking about how my 40-hour only work ethic was annoying and needed to stop. There language made me really upset. I called up one of my coworkers (who leads the small group I attend) to ask for advice. He recommended that I stop focusing on what is outside of my control (situations at work as well as the “should/could be’s”). He also mentioned that I should try to come into work with a positive. Lord willing, I will be able to shake off the doldrums of the previous week and focus on the goodness of God. Maybe I will look down and see that my shadow really proves there is sunshine.
