I could say a few things about how my voice to easily rose a few decibels last week as I was with my wonderful, adorable grandchildren. It seems my voice is not one to be readily obeyed–it is for telling stories. So, I do relate.

At the risk of over spiritualizing, I have found one things that almost always takes me through nasty feelings and bad attitudes. I say “Thank You.” Paul’s repeated admonition to give thanks has been a wonderful help to me over and over. It changes my perspective and opens the door for God to work His good.

I hope this is the kind of thing that you can laugh at later. Maybe the bee was also wondering “why God, why did I have to get squished today??”

definitely. Sometimes I think that pride keeps me from looking for the good…I want to have my bad attitude and keep it!!

I have a very hard time dealing with a bad attitude in the moment – usually need to retreat first.
So today, I had some time, and thought I’d go out to a quiet place and try to spend some retreat time with God. Ended up an hour’s drive from home in a lovely serene location on the James, sat for 10 min on a rock and then found out I’d sat on a bee, who stung me through my pants, so I left and drove home cursing all the people in front of me for driving too slowly while my leg alternately shot through with pain and tingled.
So I talked to God on the way home instead. Why, God? Why the bee sting when I was out to spend time with you? Why couldn’t I even have this time for you? And then I was forced to remember that I was STILL making it all about me. And yet later, someone else had to give me an attitude check. Definitely annoying myself today, Pink.

I remember that I’m looking for “flair” in the moment of my worst attitude. Usually, what’s causing my bad mood can be re-framed in order to find some joy.

I do like to leave a (…) between many things I write, so that kind of applies! Thanks for the thoughts…perspective, I think, always helps. Now it’s just a matter of remembering that in the MIDST of the stormy attitude (dot dot dot)…

Did you also leave little dotted lines behind yourselves wherever you hiked? That was always my favorite part of Family Circle!

I still catch myself being irritable and impatient with my family even when there is no reason to be. Though now that our children are getting older, I’m more aware of how little time we really have to be a positive influence on them before they venture out on their own. I like to think that keeping this in mind helps me to be more present, encouraging and less of an ogre.
