I'm continuing in the bookkeeping program, and really liking it. I've completed 2 out of the 6 courses so far. I'm learning a lot, and I'm seeing the benefits of taking the program. Not only might I have the opportunity to get a job when I'm done, but I'm also learning how to record things for Steve's translation business. I really think that this program was a God thing, coming right at the perfect moment.
Comparing last Saturday to this Saturday, I'm noticing a huge difference. Last week, I was so focused on all the things I had to do, ever aware of the minutes quickly ticking away. I got so upset that I didn't get as early as a start as I had hoped, and the whole day I was bitter about it. I got everything done, but it felt like I was doing chores the whole time. Any time I had left over, I was too miffed to enjoy it. And I was not a fun person to be around. But somehow, this Saturday has been completely the opposite! The morning was lazy, complete with waffles and lazing around. It even extended well into the afternoon! I enjoyed every minute of it, so happy to be at my husband's side. I knew time was ticking, but I really couldn't care. Eventually, the laziness faded, and I happily did the things I needed to do. Rather than feeling bitter about having to do chores, I simply got to work, thinking how wonderful the day had been, and before I knew it, I was done and I had a clean house! I found myself laughing - really laughing! It had been too long. Now, if I had a choice between these two Saturdays, I would pick today, no hesitation, no questions asked. Well, I suppose I do have a choice, don't I? No one else is to blame for my reactions in life; I am solely responsible. I have the choice to be thankful and happy everyday. Oh, for the strength and grace to choose rightly!
