It sounds like you and I have a bit in common–the impetuousness, anyway. As far as the negativity–I tend to error in the other way. Everything’s rosy and everyone’s noble. Sometimes my naivety get me in trouble. Luckily my husband’s got a healthy dose of beaver in him (more cautious) and frequently acts as my sounding board or reality check.

Just recently my husband referred to me as “Miss Dark Cloud in the Sky.” Now either he was affectionately giving me a noble Native American title or—I was seeing things from the negative view—again. And when it comes to speaking before thinking (and praying) I’m certain the Apostle Peter had nothing on me with my shooting from the hip responses to something I feel passionate about. Now there’s nothing wrong with a certain amount of passion—but it’s the way I handle such enthusiasm that either causes me to pause and pray before I speak…or have to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and apologize humbly. One thing I have learned about these weaknesses (and there are many more…) is they cause me to realize that I SO need his forgiveness and without God’s loving grace, I would be a completely wretched witness for Him. In my weakness, He is strong.

(It’s Wednesday…all day, even.) Thanks for sharing. (Should I be concerned now? do I need to update my life insurance or anything–now that you shared your fatal news?)

And thanks, you are right. April is such a blessing to work for–so laid back. :-) She handles me very well. grin-giggle.

LOL! I was pleasantly surprised to find the winners on COTT this morning, but the site is so new, I figured I just got the days mixed up. I would love to share some of my horrific mistakes with you, but then…I’d have to kill you.

My biggest strength is my ability to take on pretty much ANYTHING and to work at it till I’m in the top 10%. My biggest weakness is that I can pretty much take on anything and work at it till I’m in the top 10% percent=tears, frustration, burn-out, anger and the desire to do more. AND it begins again. And the cycle continues, ad nauseum.

You’re a joy. Keep up the good work. Move on. In five months it won’t matter. :)
