Happy Valentine's Day

Well just celebrated my 27th Valentine's Day as a single person. But I really wasn't bitter about it. I got to be with someone I love - my good friend Esther who I am sure is better than a boyfriend. Plus when I woke up in the morning the sky was bright pink and as corny as it may sound I took it as my Valentine's Day gift from Jesus.
So know I am at work and it is beautiful outside and a calm day at the clinic. Haven't had a day like this in quite sometime - I think the weather has a lot to do with it.
Oh and the day only gets better - The Office is on tonight. Sure it may be a little sad that a TV show brings me such joy and satisfaction but it is so funny I can't help myself.

Goodbye Fred

My week of sloth and hanging out with my friends has come to an end. I am pouting. I love my life as a part-time worker.
So I went to the first funeral for one of my clients yesterday. It was simple and probably only 30 people. I sat there thinking about Fred and the life he had led and how because of his addiction to coccaine he died of HIV and liver failure before the age of 50. It was sad and seeing his son and brother and niece made it even worse. But I was thankful that Fred wasn't suffering and I had a hope inside of me. I felt it serging, keeping me afloat as I sat in the pew. I knew Fred had some kind of faith - he spoke of a creator. And even though I didn't know if he had a personal relationship with Jesus I do know that my God is just and loving and I trust Him fully with Fred. I really don't want to go to another client's funeral but considering the line of work I am in it is probably pretty likely.
So Jesus please have mercy for Fred - sorry I didn't do more.
