    The little things...

    Just a thought for the day

    As you might remember, the head of a company survived
    9/11 because his son started kindergarten.

    Another fellow was alive because it was
    His turn to bring donuts.

    One woman was late because her
    Alarm clock didn't go off in time.

    One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
    Because of an auto accident.

    One of them
    Missed his bus.

    One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
    Time to change.

    One's
    Car wouldn't start.


    One couldn't
    Get a taxi.

    The one that struck me was the man
    Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
    Took the various means to get to work but before
    he got there, he developed a blister on his foot.

    He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
    That is why he is alive today..


    Now when I am
    Stuck in traffic,
    Miss an elevator,
    Turn back to answer a ringing telephone...
    All the little things that annoy me.
    I think to myself,
    This is exactly where
    I'm meant to be
    At this very moment..

    Next time your morning seems to be
    Going wrong,

    The children are slow getting dressed,
    You can't seem to find the car keys,
    You hit every traffic light,
    Don't get mad or frustrated;
    It may be just that
    Someone is watching over you.

    May you continue to be blessed with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose.
    Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

            Thank you for the post, Sunnybutt. More than once in my life I've been behind the car that was hit by another vehicle, or that hit the deer who jumped out of the woods, or I didn't go to a store as I'd planned the day it was robbed, etc. 'There but for the Grace of God go I'. Every day on this side of the dirt is a blessing.

                So when you think about it, our fight with AL has a meaning- we are here to survive- No one knows the great plan yet, but someday we all will

                Sobriety since October 2008 ( with a few bumps in the road ) - but I am still here, strong and fighting every day for my sobriety!
                And every day is a challenge - But I am WINNING so far!
