Positivity

I'm feeling rather downtrodden. I think I've given so much of myself at work that there's not much left for anyone else. It has been a rough string of days around here, from a technical standpoint, and nerves are frazzled; so in various attempts to calm those frayed nerves I have used up my positivity and patience before I made it home.

I guess all of this means I need to apologize. I am certain I have been neglectful. I still don't feel 100% since my operation, and with all that has been going on, I know the rest of my family is starting to feel my stress. That is not fair of me, and I need to go home and make it right.

Second, and just as important, I need to realize things are not bad. Honestly things can never really be bad. No matter what happens or where I go I cannot outrun the reach of God and how He has redeemed me through Jesus. I know that may sound trite, but I also know it to be true. The Gospel is living and breathing all around us, and in my own struggles and failures I can see the love bestowed upon me through the care of my wife, the unconditional love and forgiveness of my children, and the unyielding support of my family and friends. It is true, in the flesh, representation of how the Gospel works.

So it really is about positivity. Positively knowing that it is all in control, and maybe, just maybe, all the stress isn't really what life is about.
