DAY 166 (2014)

Okay so today’s post will be a little different. Today was busy, but I manged to get a lot done. I dealt with some very nice people. And some NOT so nice people. During my interactions with the friendly people my thought was, “I am so happy I got to interact with this person today.” But with the NOT so nice people my thought was this:

happy

Some days are like that. Thank God for His infinite wisdom when creating us. He knew the kind trouble we’d get in if people could hear our thoughts at times. Hahaha.

“To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are His” (Job 12:13).

So what’s the plan? Uhmmm… taking thoughts captive 😉

Everyday, laugh.

Everyday, laugh.

This was the day of funny conversations. I have two very amusing friends who say the most random things, but very sincerely. Today I have laughed a lot with my coworkers which is great because my time with them is slowly dwindling away. It is weird that I am beginning to feel the pangs of loss while I am still with them. I think it is because I am very aware that my tenure there is coming to an end. God must have known that if I wasn’t laughing I would be crying, because not only am I saddened at the thought of leaving, but the day was just one crisis after another. At one point I checked the almanac to make sure it wasn’t a full moon (it wasn’t). The laughing started early. My coworker and pharmacy tech extraordinaire Karla came up to me inquiring about whether or not I had, had breakfast:

 

Karla: Today is national donut day. So I went to Dunkin Donuts.

Me: Oh really?

Karla: I bought a Boston Market, do you want it?

Me: ??? You bought a Boston Market?!

Karla: Yes, would you like it?

Me: ???? A  B O S T O N  M A R K E T?

Karla: Uh-huh. Would you like it? (she’s looking at me like…why do you keep asking 🙂 )

Me: Wait. Do you mean Boston cream?

Karla: Uhmm, that’s what I said.

A little later as my friends and I are walking to lunch Christina (who is normally involved in my best convo of the day posts… on FB). Made the journey to the cafeteria memorable with this sudden outburst:

Christina: How much peanut butter are you allowed to own? (She asks staring at me).

Me: (blinking) Huh? Uhmm, Stacy I am going let you answer that. Peanut butter is dietary and you’re a dietitian.

Stacy: You mean like, personally, like how much can you have in your house?

Christina: Yes, how much can you own?

Stacy: As much as you want!

Christina: Good ’cause they’re buy one get one free and they only have that sale like once a month.

Yup, laughter has been the theme of the day. It has blessed my soul and reminded that God loves to hear His children laugh. He provides these moments of joy to remind us that the world was intended to be beautiful, intended to be happy, it was sin that broke it down. But nevertheless God is still in the business of bringing us joy.

“Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them'” (Palms 126:2).

So what’s my plan? Laughter.

What words are you using?

What words are you using?

I have a new plan, which I will be implementing immediately. Everytime something happens that leaves me with the desire to say something negative, I am going to say something praiseworthy instead. It all came about this morning as I was driving my mom to H&R Block to get her taxes done. On the drive someone pulled out in front of the car in front of me, causing the driver in front of me to swerve in order to avoid collision. My mom busted out with a few words that were less than friendly (uhmm, I was thinking the same thing though). I said to her, “We should stop doing that.” “What?” “See everything from a negative perspective.” So we made a plan for the remainder of the drive anytime we wanted to make a negative comment we would say something praiseworthy instead. What ensued was nothing short of humorous. At one point my mom said something like, “dam…d-dear Lord please protect them and keep them from getting into an accident.” Ha! (That’s not what she was gonna say originally). So I am doling out a challenge to those of you who read my blog. For the next 24 hours, instead of negative comments let’s use praise worthy comments. It will definitely bring about some humorous moments, and you will be surprised at how it changes your view when you see good and not evil.

” A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare” (Proverbs 15:1).

So what’s my plan of attack? Praiseworthy instead of negative.
