January, Shamuary. Glad That Month Is Over(ary)

I look back on the month of January and realize I really didn't have a lot to talk about. Even now, I can't really drudge up enough of anything interesting to warrant filling this blank white space. I've got plenty to ramble on about, don't get me wrong, but I seriously doubt much of it is nice or encouraging. January was not the best month, let me tell you.

I did pick up some temporary part-time work that will take me through the end of May. Now there's some stories I could tell! But, because I happen to admire the lady I work with, I would not want to risk stepping on anybody's toes. Let's just say that I've learned a lot about position in this world. I have now seen the the world- well, a school anyway, from the front of a classroom, the front door of  a reception desk, and the line behind the lunch counter. Might I add that from the position behind the lunch counter, I look much different to people who knew me from the front of the classroom or at the front door of a reception desk. A hair net has the magic ability to transform a person.

And some people never notice you're the same person.

Like I said, it's all about position.

Position: noun. 
Manner or place in which a person or thing is placed... place in society; social rank.
Webster's High School Dictionary, 1892.

Anyhoo, I'll save those stories for another day and another time (and most likely will never share). For now, I will remain content with where I am for the time being. I am thankful. God has provided. Plus, I've learned many things in regards to how I treat people. Things I never noticed before.

The Good.
The Bad.
And The Somewhat Disturbing.

All the workings of a great novel.

And great things to come.

Sunshine In The Dark

A little girl tugged on my shirt today, stood on her tiptoes, and whispered in my ear:

Jack always backtalks me, all day long, but he's not today cause he's scared of you.

Her eyes were wide. Her smile was huge.
I patted her on the back and told her I was glad to be of help.
She hugged me tight before she skipped back to her coloring sheet and crayons.

A bright spot in an otherwise depressing day.
