What a rough morning I had today. I blew it big time. A customer made me so angry that it brought on a panic attack. There's nothing worse than trying to wait on customers while hyperventilating. My coworker was at lunch at the time so it took a few minutes for me to get someone to cover for me. The problem is that I get upset with the customer, then I compound it by getting mad at myself for getting mad, where if maybe I just acknowledged that, yes, I was irritated, and let the fleeting emotion go, I would be a lot better off. Oy vey! However, God supplied a little grace when I happened upon this verse posted in a display case in the jetport "How precious is your unfailing love O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings." (Psalm 36: 7)  I praise God for His timely reminder that He is still there, He is my refuge, even when I mess up. That is certainly a joyful thought,amen? Throughout the rest of my shift I just kept telling myself to focus on what lies ahead, forget what is behind. Plus I got to go to the library when I got home, so there's another joy right there. A library full of books always seems like a library full of possibilities.  I believe it was Lays Chips that coined the phrase "No one can eat just one." For me, with books, I can't read just one. So I wound up with four today. Howards End by E.M. Forster, A Secret Kept by Tatiana de Rosnay, Twilight at Monticello by Alan Pell Crawford, and finally Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness by Alexandra Fuller.  So happy reading to me!
