This Thursday I took the kids to school in the rain.  I caught myself griping at them to hurry too much and had to stop and let them be kids.

I got started on my persuasive paper regarding animal rights.  I was resentful that I couldn't stay on it.  I read the daily reflection and really wanted to comment on it but was not able to and was resentful about this. 

Then I had a moment sometime during the day perhaps inspired by a religious television program when I was moved to really let go and accept my circumstances as God's will.  I suddenly felt like I could accept and embrace working piecemeal something I could never accept before.

In the evening my wife went to a conference.  After dinner and cleanup I was exhausted and passed out early.

Thanks be to God.
