 Today is my birthday. I got a new laptop. I guess it's time to take up blogging again. :)

Working Smarter

I worked hard today for my measly $34. My job is at a grocery store called Winn Dixie and man oh man! I love it but it's hard. I'm just a bagger. I bag groceries which is fun for me. However, my least favorite part is I have to collect grocery carts in rain or Florida sunshine. As you can imagine, it's hard to collect grocery carts in boiling heat. I carry a battery powered mini fan that has a water sprayer attached to it. It's nice to use to cool off. I thank the Lord Jesus every day that I have a social security check. I only work 3 hours so it's manageable. I was drenched in sweat by the time my shift was over. I have worked there a year but it felt nice to work smarter. My grandma recommended a sprayer with water and a battery powered fan last week and it's been a lifesaver. I wanted to quit my job last week because the July heat wave was unbearable. Now, I'm glad we found a solution.

I'm enjoying this new little laptop. My Mom and Grandma bought me a little 14' inch HP laptop. It's nothing special but hey, it works. I'm enjoying using it. I want it to be a little blessing. I'm praying that GOD uses it to help me experience stories. If a miracle happens in my life, I want to write about it. I want Him to write the story of my life from now on. Not me. It may hurt sometimes and I still don't understand why He left me handicapped after a brain injury but my job is to not sit around in depression over something I cannot change. My job is to get up and keep going. Everyone becomes limited in some ways I guess. Even though I can't drive a vehicle, I can still be thankful for rides from family or a bus if absolutely necessary.

That's what I want to work on on my 31st year. I want to work on being thankful.
