A Bully Tanka

Corporate Bully

The Firm is alive.
Finance is my game and I
want what I want.  Now!

See what I mean?  I will stop
at nothing to get what's mine.

Sometimes in life don't you come across a company that uses money to get what they want regardless of whether or not they have to play dirty to win?  I remember working for a company like this.  I would run into other ex-employees from the same company and I have heard so many horror stories.  Thank goodness I no longer work for them.  

Micah

7:7

As for me, I look to the LORD for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me.

Sometimes do you find yourself making the same mistake over and over again?  In fact, isn't that the definition of insanity?  I thought about that recently because aren't there days when you could just kick yourself because you made a mistake of some sort?  Whether big or small?  I was reading in my devotion recently and I ironically ended up reading a passage about how God is able to make right our mistakes.  Granted it may take longer to correct but in the long run God takes our mistakes into consideration.  I found that to be comforting because God definitely knows we are all human.  "And ain't that the truth!"  :)

“When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.”

A friend of mine recently sent me this quote.  It made me pause and think.  What do you think this means?  And what do you think this is telling you?

A Cold Tanka

Ah-choo!

The warmth lulls a person
until a bitter cold comes
and without thinking...

You sneeze and sniffle, sniff, sniff.
Oh for a nose that won't run!

With the change in seasons come the change in allergies, colds, and what not!  I can only hope that I get over mine quickly, although this one is hanging in a little longer than expected.

The Wind Blows

No sooner does the
weather change and strong gales
cover us with rain!

And so it goes!  No sooner does March turn into April and all of a sudden the weather changes too!  Everybody I talk to is sniffling and coughing!  Hack!  Hack!  Me included!
