MIDDLE

I am currently listening to Jill Scott’s Golden. That song I must say fill me to the brim and makes the smile that is buried deep come to surface.

Today is one of those days that I really enjoy. I am in the MIDDLE. I am neither happy nor sad. I woke up at about 10am and got my day started. I headed over to the church for the disposition of ashes (it is Ash Wednesday – FYI). Anyway, I got to the church and things are going alright. Even now my day is ending on a positive note. I am in the MIDDLE. I sure wish all my days were like today.

I am not your typical Catholic. I am not the Christian that changes into someone different when Sunday comes. I am ME each and everyday of the year. I try to do what is right. I am no leader and I am no follower. I like to eat good food, listen to good music, and shake my butt on the dance floor, pretending that I am the hottest woman in the room.

Tests come in all shapes and forms. Whether it is the person that cut you off on I-4 or the person that seems like they don’t want to take your order in what used to be your favorite restaurant. The kids cry and whine ALL DAY. Your parents say whatever comes to mind because they don’t believe in biting their tongues. Your boss obviously believes you are an idiot.

Lent to me means to learn how take each and every event that comes at you with a grain of salt. There are lessons to be learned and prizes to be earned.
