do good - day four

Today was a bad day. It happens. We all get them. For me, I get them about once a week, which is good. About a year ago, every day was a bad day. Needless to say, I was feeling low, put out, frustrated, and downright ornery. I know this is the perfect time to do good for someone else. I know service helps lift your own spirits. But, I was afraid of what I might say in my unfiltered state of exhaustion and self loathing. At times like this my filter disintegrates and things are not always pretty. Doing good is SO HARD on days like this. My bucket was empty! I needed a drop from someone else! Letting people serve me is allowing them to enjoy the blessings of service, is that a form of doing good? Well, you don't have to answer that because it didn't happen! :(

I did force myself to get moving. I started some mending for a neighbor. Didn't quite finish but got enough of a start that I should finish it tomorrow. I also worked on the lovely blessing dress for my niece (to be blessed in Oct). So, I started some good things but didn't finish anything. Fingers crossed for better sleep tonight, better focus tomorrow, a chance to do good, and peace....oh sweet peace.
