not only is this the year

This is also the month. I need help and prayer and health. Our building had a gas leak, so the gas has been turned off for 9 days now. Fortunately, it was recognized, otherwise, we all could have been blown away. A meeting was held last night to tell the owners of these apartments that they need funding to repair it and it will take AT LEAST 3 weeks to get the job done. Additionally, there is a funky smell in the stairwells because of water in the basement (I think because, another problem, the roof leaks which also needs fixing) and that needs to be cleaned because typhoid could be an issue.
It's funny. It must be God (what I'm about to say). I'm still excited about this year. I'm still very happy to be here. I don't want to tuck my tail between my legs and run. I want to begin and finish this year with a flourish. I have the beginning part down:-) I have plenty of reasons to complain, but when I think about the victims of Katrina, and other parts of the world who have it much worse than me, I'm thankful. I'm alive and well...mostly. I'm still breathing, I'm still getting showers albeit them being cold, and I still am eating. How can I complain?
