ARRR!

Feeling particularly frustrated and agitated by my work day (and the people who have crossed my path in the course of it), I took a much needed mini blog break. And found exactly what I needed to read, courtesy of Mark at Cowpi:

Looking through the Bible in my classroom, I found this scribbled on a notecard inside:

When faced with anger and/or frustration, say "ARRR!"
Acknowledge the emotion.
Relate it to others. Relate it to God.
Receive graces. Be open.
Respond not from judgement, but out of love.

Need to remember that one!
