When things are going good, and there are no real troubles, remember to be grateful for what you have.
The power went out suddenly in my neighborhood last night and it fried my brand new desktop computer. Even the surge protector didn't help. I should have plugged my PC into my backup battery that I had, but I didn't think of it at the time. Anyway, I have been trying to fix my computer since late last night - finally downloading a new copy of Windows onto it, so hopefully that helps. I have beating myself up all night last night, and all morning as to why I didn't have my computer plugged into my backup battery. This whole thing stopped me from going to church this morning, do my Legion of Mary work, or go to my members meeting at my AA club. I was so upset.
All that I have been whining about for the past few months didn't matter at all in the past 24 hours. It really puts things into perspective.
Again, when things are going good, remember to be grateful. This has taught me a huge lesson.
@Blue_Bird - so glad you got a gift card to see some movies. I am too scared to see Sinners by myself, lol. @Nammu I hope you have a fun safe trip today, and the baptism goes well. @Blueberrybook - I love the cat! If you decide to do the drawing classes, I think it would be great, especially if you can do some for free. @MuddyBoots - I hope you're feeling better after last night. The two things you said you mixed is a little scary, I am glad you are okay,
