Today, I Was at My Worst... Rawr!

After 2 weeks of sleepless nights, overflowing coffee and all-you-can-eat food due to a project, I can say that today, I was at my worst.  I don't know what it is, though I suspect PMS, but today, I was ready to pounce on the next unsuspecting victim.  If anyone had in any way crossed me earlier, I would have snapped his or her head off, chewed it crudely and spit it on the pavement!  Rawr!  Good thing the people around me ignored me the whole time, so there wasn't anything or anyone who triggered the episode.

My brother often teased me about my temperament.  He says it comes with age, but who'd believe him?  Hehehe...

Anyway, as I was looking at those 4 letters up there on the kitty photo, I got curious and googled 'rawr!'.  Guess what?  'Rawr' actually means 'I love you' in dinosaur!  Or am I the only one who didn't know?

I still find it interesting, though.  Imagine, something that sounds like something as undesirable as a growl actually is a declaration of undying affection!

Which brings me to my usual reflection/ realization: something as ugly as the pressure that comes with the desire to accomplish a particular task or mission can be turned into a motivation to strive harder, to push yourself more, to stretch until the breaking point.  That despite the shortcomings of each person, God is there to fill in the gaps and blanks and make everything whole and perfect.

Thank You, Lord for today's "Rawr!" moment.  Rawr back at You!
