remember me?

I'm at work and it's super slow...

I read the following proverb this morning: A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult. 12:16

and I really feel like God has given me several opportunities today to stay calm "when insulted."

For example, I work as a receptionist at the Wellness Center. My job mostly consists of checking members in. Well, today I greeted a member and stretched out my hand so they could hand me their membership card like i usually do and they placed it on the counter. That really annoyed me, but remembering the proverb I just smiled and said Thank you. If my flesh was at work I would not have handed it back to them... I would've put it right back on that counter!

I won't go into more examples because remembering them kind of puts me in a bad mood, but I will share some blessings with you. I lost my phone and some basketball players from building one found it. Also, some girl scouts were selling some cookies and a member bought me a box!!! i was genuinely surprised!

well, i better go now. it's time to reconcile my till!

i'll try to blog more often.
