Small Stones Crush

What to post, what to post.

I’m really just at a loss for words. Lot happened today, so much that it can’t all be included in my log for today’s travels. It’s amazing how many little things can add up to be big things for starters. You know, you pick up one rock and place in it your pack, and then another, you know they’re just small rocks. After awhile though they just keep pilling on and pilling on. Separately? They’re nothing. But together they’re enough to bring a man down.

To get where I’m leading ya’ll to, today two things happened that had been “building up” I guess. One, that I’ll post about more when I have more of a closure. The second though was work. I work about 15 hours a week, you know putting money in the bank for college and for small change for hanging out. Well at work, my boss had been noticing that I had been slipping up more that usual so he confronted me about 3 months ago asking what was going on. He cut my hours back from the 20 that I was working to the 15 that I’m working now, in an order to relieve stress. That wasn’t the issue though.

My boss encouraged me to look at all the details and find out what was bugging me. We basically discovered that I was allowing the little issues I had at work to land in my pocket and not out in the open. I was hiding them because I thought they weren’t any big deal. Obviously they were, if they were holding me back from excelling in the company. So I’m really amazed out how just little things can add up to crush a man! So that leads me to my encouragement for you fellow travelers this day.

Don’t let the little things in your life add up to one huge tragedy! Yet don’t let them just roll off! We can take the little stones we throw at each other, but if you let the all go at once, it’ll crush you or those around you! And know the difference between a little stone and a large stone. Remember, what may be a little stone to you, may be the crushing force to another.


Here’s to dropping the rocks in your packs,

David

Hey man, glad you could lighten your load. Sorry that it had to fall on your foot and cause you to be sore for a while. Walking foreward may be painful at first, but you will eventually heal and be off much better than before. (gaah this road imagery is gunna kill me) It's time to rely on God for inspiration and hope. Thanks for being a friend in rough times.
