I complain about work a lot. I'm sorry... I know I signed up for this... I need to suck it up and deal with it. Of course it's easier for me to say after surviving my 83-hour week... but I am thankful for the people that helped me get through it... people who ate with me... listened to me vent... volunteered their time to work... stopped what they were doing to do what I couldn't... were patient with my lack of communication. Thank you... I don't want to ever take you for granted.
In the midst of my busy week I had the pleasure of spraining my ankle (insert sarcasm here). I've had problems with my left ankle for too long... For 10-12 years now I have hurt my the same ankle/foot five different times.
Have you noticed when you injure something once, you're so much more prone to do it again? There are so many things in my life that I have messed up... as soon as I think I learn my lesson, I fall right back into it. I date a guy I know isn't right for me... go through heartbreak but yet I date the guy again or a guy with the same problems. I procrastinate and end up working late and tell myself next time I'll plan ahead until I find myself stuck in the same situation the next week. The weakness has been exposed and I'm not always good at withstanding the temptation. I sound like an addict... or a Pringles commercial... but once you pop you can't stop.
I sprain my ankle... let it heal... maybe even strengthen it but as soon as I think I'll be careful this time... that's when I fall. I'm thanking God for a way out... or a way up.

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. - 1 Corinthians 10:12-13
