No diet today!

I have started reading South Beach Diet by Arthur Agatson for the second time in my life.  As I read it this time, I am finding that I don't remember a lot of what I read before.  Part of me just wants to join Weight Watchers and count some points, but I know that South Beach Diet (SBD) will be better for us both in the long run.  Breakfast today was oatmeal, which is a healthy choice, but probably not so much with the margarine... yes MARGARINE, not butter, and sugar.  Margarine is so much easier when I make oatmeal.  I just pull out the Country Crock and scoop out a spoonful.  For lunch I had baked chicked, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, and a piece of cornbread.  Then for supper, I cooked chicken livers and onions for Daniel.  I do not eat livers because I cannot bear the texture.  So I fixed a scrambled egg sandwich on sourdough bread.  It was tasty and most definitely not SBD.  SBD... maybe I should re-think that abbreviation.  Tomorrow is a new day, and I hope to do a little better.
I go to work tomorrow.  I sometimes forget how blessed I am to have a job as a registered nurse.  I complain way too much.  As a follower of Christ, I know that the mere fact that I am a nurse at all is by God's grace, not to mention having a job as a RN team leader (charge nurse) after only being a nurse for less than a year.  I work at a nursing home, and I love caring for my residents.  I find myself getting caught up in petty complaining day after day with my co-workers.  THIS SHOULD NOT BE!!  Philippians 2:14-18 says, "Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me."  If I am to shine as light in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, then I can't get caught up in the negativity.  Father, please help me shine Your light and glorify You at work.
