BLESSINGS IN DESPAIR


does my name say "MURPHY?"
i think not.
have i invented any "LAWS?"
heck no.

and yet
2014...
i did not purchase a calendar
or planner for the year...
business conducted on technology devices
hard drive needs to be replaced
my smile box collection has disappeared
my iPhoto is unaccessible
i have only one contact lens
(talk about throw me off balance)
my camera has a lens error
and so there is no zoom
i misplaced my phone
then found it in the church library
wet and damaged
contract does not expire until march
also wet and damaged
was the gift santa gave me
"walk with Christ"
book and journal
and i tried doing laundry again
noah now is the only boy
with this color of skinny jeans
the dog and christmas tree
gouged me and so i have additional
wounds to fret over
the light on my vehicle needs to be fixed
and an officer pulled us over to tell us about it
i wanted to cry
i wanted to scream
but mr. positive zig ziglar silver fox of idaho

reminded me to count my blessings
he also suggested a second opinion on my computer

and that was blessing number 1.
1. photo library was rebuilt and downloaded to a separate hard drive.
2. i had christmas money to repair the hard drive and battery.
3. because dad was there, he was a witness to my inept hard drive storage.
4. with rick, they decided a perfect half century birthday gift would be an upgrade

5. noah could then have his own computer (my old updated model) to use.
6. i have a legitimate reason to not answer my phone or return calls until march.
7. i purchased a new journal and now i have one i can cart around and one i can keep clean at home
8. the officer will not make us pay if the light is fixed within 14 days.
9. until repairs were completed, i had time to complete a few projects that were weighing on me.
10. rewrite MURPHY'S LAW
