Acting Out

Yes, green toenails on a 58 year old woman. Well, no one will see them at this time of year. I am not exactly wearing sandals to work. They sure bring a smile to my face when I take off all the layers of clothing at the end of the day or in the morning when I swing them out from under the 400 various flannel sheets, blankets, duvets, coverlets, and other things placed on my bed each night to keep me warm.

I didn't go to the meeting I had planned today because I stayed too late at work. I am in the midst of some ugly stuff at work. But you all knew that. It is what I do. It has just never been quite this ugly.

I think I am ready to be homeless or pick onions or clean toilets or just do something else.

But as long as I am where I am, I will keep slogging along, doing the best I can, trying to be of service to God and my fellows until such a time as it is clear that I should be somewhere else.

"I fear only one thing, to keep my own will." St. Therese of Lisieux
