Outlook

SO, I woke up the other morning on the wrong side of the bed, it was going to be one of those days I had decided.  I am running late for work, flying thru traffic, and then I come to a stop light, and to the right of me is a bus station.  I see a lady hobbling over to take  a seat on the bench to wait for the bus.  There is something wrong with her leg, I can tell by the way she is walking.  She is an older lady, not real old, let's just say her youth is behind her.  And it is HOT outside. And as she finally takes a seat on the bench, she sighs, she obviously walked far with a not so good leg in the boiling heat, and she is tired, tired and hot.  She was relieved to sit and rest, while she awaits the bus.  Tears begin to well up in my eyes.  Here I have been grumbling and groaning about how bad things are going for me and how I have decided  that it is going to be a bad day.  And I am sitting in my car, with cool air blowing in my face, my choice of music playing, no physical ailments.  There is a tugging at my heart and a knock to my head from God to remind me that I am blessed.  I don't know why sometimes it takes these things to make us realize how blessed we are, but I am glad it does.  We never know what someone is facing, what hardship they are battling.  We should always be grateful for what we  have.  I think this lady was grateful for that bus bench, because after she sighed, she smiled.  My outlook had completely changed all in the time it took that red light to turn green. I decided to not have a bad day that day.
