Always look for the blessing.......

There is always some good that can come out of bad. You just gotta look for it.

For today, I choose to be positive and not let this leg injury get me down.

In all honesty, I am absoloutley spewing about my lost wages. As little as they are (particularly of late), they do help to get me through.

So, what I am doing today is a total re-evaluation of what I spend my money on and how I can save as much as I can.

I did make a big dish of fried rice yesterday.  This is healthy and inexpensive and I will do that again today, but, we cannot live on fried rice forever.

I am going to make some vegetable soup.  I have carrots and onions in stock already. I will buy some celery and maybe a couple of spuds and make some soup.

Now that I have a new stove and so I actually have an oven that works, I can make low fat muffins and other stuff for snacks and my sons school lunches.

Previously I was buying and consuming way too much convienence foods.  Today, I realise, I have time to actually do some proper cooking and I got a brand new cook top and oven last week, so, there is no reason why I cannot cook good, healthy and economical meals for my son and I.

So, there is the blessing in my lost wages.

And hey, I will have time this week to do my creative work.  Usually I am so bloody tired after sitting there for up to 5 hours at a time folding junk mail and then walking 2 hours to deliver it, well, I have no energy left to do much of anything like cooking, cleaning and creating.

So, there are my blessings and hey, I may save so much money from cooking everything from scratch and not buying junk food that I may be able to quit my job.

Yes, I will miss the walking. I love doing all the walking which is why I have stuck with this job for the last 2 years, BUT, I do have my gym membership and I can go swimming while my leg is out of action.

So, yes, there are blessings in this leg injury.

If you look long and hard enough for the blessings in a bad situation, you can and will find them.

For today, I refuse to be a victim.  I will use this injury to improve my life in areas that most definitely need improving.

Sometimes when we continually ignore doing what is good for us, God will come in and force you to start doing those things.

In a way, I feel this is the case for me.

For today, I choose to not be a victim.  :0)
