Journal 6

Well.. today was interesting. I got in the middle of a he-said, she-said situation at work between a software development partner and a customer. It really was not pretty and there were many ways to react. I decided to take the high road and just stick to the facts of the situation, and provide an "enhanced" message showing all sides of the equation and not pointing any fingers directly... maybe a couple indirectly, but it was subtle and nothing that was too critical to the arguments. I believe I took the right path, but we will see how this plays out. It is interesting what lies before us each day, I just thank God that I have breathe in my lungs and making the most of the day. We get too tied up in the everyday living that we sometimes forget how precious life is and how fast it disappears. My wife deals with death at least 2-3 days a week as a nurse, and it amazes me how good she faces this fact. I think that is why we try to instill that into our children. It is hard to live everyday as it is your last, but it is not a bad way to live. As I get older, I do think about my faith and life more. I don't let anything stop me... but it is something I think about. Didn't expect this journal to go there... but it is something that weighs on my mind.
