Gratitude

Idle

As the great British philosopher, Eric Idle, once sang:

“Always look on the bright side of life.  Always look on the light side of life.  If life seems jolly rotten – there’s something you’ve forgotten.  And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.  You’ll see it’s all a show.  Keep em laughin as you go.  Just purse your lips and whistle, that’s the thing.”

So, as I sit at home, awaiting the results of my morning’s ct scan to rule out appendicitis, here is what I’m grateful for:

– I am totally confident I am in the hands of my loving, all-powerful Father in heaven, whose will is perfect and good.  So, no worries.

– I have a beautiful, wonderful family who love me and I love so very much.

– I didn’t have any clients scheduled today, so no cancelling and explaining.

– My doctor is excellent, and is a trusted, Christian brother – the kind with whom I can maintain my dignity as I get a quick hernia check.  Good times!

– Apparently, the “Barium smoothie” you have to drink for an x-ray is one of the world’s finest intestinal plugs.  I didn’t have to drink any of that unpleasantry today.  No, I got to drink the “Barium smoothie” for a ct scan, which is apparently one of the worlds finest intestinal rockets.  Forget about “sexting” – you haven’t lived until you’ve had a text conversation with your wife from a restaurant restroom, updating her on the results of the morning’s unexpected brunch.  That’s livin the High Life!!!

– And last, but not least, I love the fact that I have this blog, and if I want to share “too much information” with my faithful followers or unlucky passersby – well that’s just what I get to do.

Peace Out

Roger

And if you haven’t yet had your fill of the hilarious world of intestinal exploration, well, I can recommend a good therapist.
