Philippians 4:10-13

I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned for me, but had no opportunity to show it.  Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have.  I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need.   I can do all things through him who strengthens me.  - Philippians 4:10-13 NRSV

Why am I putting this on my blog?  Well, today was a tough one.  Not too bad.  But tough.  And it reminded me of the verse above: "for I have learned to be content with whatever I have."  It all started out well: I got in to work early, got a lot of follow-ups done, and was well into my day when I had lunch with one of my friends.  Then it all kinda went south: I stopped by the grocery store after lunch and got a speeding ticket (my first one in years).  Then I got into work and found out that I'm being assigned to a different department; to the first position I had at my company three years ago.  It's not a demotion per se, but it's definitely not an advancement for me.  I'm okay with it, though, but it probably won't look too good on the ol' resume--which I am NOT dusting off, by the way.  I know that this won't interfere with my career path at my company, but it'll just be more circuitous!  So, although people usually say that bad things usually come in threes, there was nothing else.  (Well, I did almost rear-end a big truck, and didn't get too much exercise in).  Yeah, not much exercise in at all.  I was planning on exercising when I got back from lunch, but that didn't really work out, you know?

On the plus side, my new role won't be nearly as busy as the one I'm leaving.

And it looks like I'll have a lot of catching up to do this week!
