You're transformed and I'm not...

Those were the words of someone who reads this blog. I laughed at the time because it was the gmail server that picked my email...alex.transformed. A Kelly was taken.

This week I was transformed alright...into a big GRUMP. Life is not always a shiny blog entry and this week I was unworthy of being the author of a blog that includes words of kindness, gratitude, forgiveness and love. And unfortunately I know it will probably happen again.

I blew up at a friend about something I should have addressed earlier in the week before I became a volcano of resentment and martyrdom. That was on Thursday. Then after our shift at work, in the wee hours of Friday morning, we wrapped the gifts we are giving to 6 children in need. Babies and children under 12 who have no parents and live in orphanages and group homes in our community. By the time we were done there was 3 carts piled with gifts. Clothes, underwear, socks books and a few well chosen, age appropriate toys. And I started to cry thinking of them opening these gifts.

So it is apparent to me that I write this blog to inspire myself. To remind myself what I believe and to try to remember to live it.

Sorry is a word my friend, sorry is a word.
