Being Church Update

It's funny - since I decided to try "be church" my attitude toward work and life seems to have changed.

I mentioned yesterday that a small bonus (as opposed to a substanial one) doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother everyone else. But I've noticed other things that bother everyone else and leave me un-involved. I've stopped thinking about work in bad terms. I don't get upset over the office gossip or the back-biting or little nastinesses. I'm just happy that I'm employed, get a monthly amount of cash coming in and have a place to live. Everything else has stopped bugging me - water off a duck's back!

I've found myself wanting to smile, say thank you for little things, be nice to difficult people, to make a difference if I can in someone's day.

I seem to be looking at people with new eyes too. Looking deeper, as it were. Seeing the person under the facade. I've noticed a few things that haven't been apparent in all the years I've known some of the folk.

I seem to have a peace inside. It's like I'm teflon-coated.

Strange....
