Good morning, I have just returned from an early call-out at 5:30am this day. Water everywhere and it was. My response time was less than 15 min. and resolve water leak. My thoughts run true and wander about this early and that is the reason for this post. Actually, too, I need to write about yesterday, because I have somehow been keeping it bouncing around in repetitive thought.
The day ended up being an overall test of my patience and understanding of my own self and of others. Anger, justifiably, came to me suddenly and unexpected. There had been some tension between my self and this co-worker for some time and I have stood up to him already on occasion, always about him staying out of my way and leaving me alone. Knowing his nature is one of being "hater" and his incessant gossip and mild threats (I never took him serious, but not to would also leave me vulnerable to a perceived weakness, or lack of fortitude.) So anyway this Friday morning I overheard another loud declaration of "I should have ran him over last night when I saw him." He actually did not express this statement to anyone, he was trying, as always attempting to shock people for attention. His comments are never responsible and I should have never took him seriously, typically we all just ignore. But yesterday I responded with what I was interpreting as a threat toward my personal well-being and safety, because he statements have always been the day after I have seen him while I was riding my bike and him driving. I said somethings that explained my position.
Somehow there are other characters in all this especially one that has somehow relyed all his life on his boyish nature, which by now he has outgrown, and he obviously hijacked somebody else's character and assumed it as his own.
Well, I was able to place my self aside and recognize that I cannot get in the way of God's will and that I must offer myself as a friend and I did. In-Kind.
