In a few hours, I'm leaving to go pay my electric bill and I'm not happy about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful I have money to pay the bill. Just not happy with the amount. That leaves me broke this week.
I hate being "the adult" in my house sometimes. I used toi worry about bills in my house and all the things on my growing-shrinking to-do list. I've learned not to worry too much about it. It's not good for my health. Plus, I think about people less fortunate than me. That puts things in perspective for me.
I think about those people who lost homes in Tennessee and have to start over because of tornados. The Haitian people still wanting for medical attention and water. The people along the Gulf Coast who have not only lost their livelihood, but the effects of the oi spill's consequences. As I was watch my TV set, I see the face of a very ill child, who can't hold up her neck, and her crying parents because doctors don't know what's wrong with her. My problems are even in the same category as theirs.
Being broke for a few days...I'll grin and bare it. It just reminds me I need to thank God more for my blessings.
