Emails. Faxes. Mail. Old and new.
Most in piles. {Some in files}
I stamp 'Faxed', 'Entered' or 'Paid'.
Keeping track, staying legal, chasing insurance.
It all seems so utterly meaningless.
I get down, and drown in
it sometimes. And have to look
beyond the tasks, phone, papers and
paycheck. Many buildings are being built.
I support a kind man who
runs a small business that feeds
fifteen families. One of them - mine.
A little gratitude. A little perspective.
My overly dramatic drowning becomes swimming.
A little writing. A quiet evening
relaxing with my family. Guess I'll
live to stamp 'Paid' another day.
I like where you went with this, nicely done. :)

I love that line. It shows business is necessary and routine but spending time with family is more important.
Great post!
ReplyDeleteTGIF and I get to read great posts like this.
ReplyDeleteI love the gratitude. As I have been weeding through my stuff to move, I have thrown away so many old financial documents. After they have served their purpose, they must go.

Perspective: the antidote to so many ills!
ReplyDeleteOoooo . . . this is so good! It reminds me of some of David's psalms - starting with the despair, ending in praise. :)
