I know you are thinking what in the world do the two have to do with each other but I guess you have guessed that my elevator is caput!!! I live on the 5th floor so it could be an issue. AS I was lugging my bags up the stairs I started thinking about why I was grateful that I had a broken elevator!!! After my run this morning I was especially grateful because it was an added bonus to my run this morning.
I have learned that for every potential thing that I could whine about (if anyone would listen) there are at least 10 things to be grateful for. Such is the case with my broken elevator. I was grinning as I thought about how thankful I was that having that broken elevator meant that I have a home at the top of the stairs that keeps me warm at night. I was especially grateful that I had 2 legs that enable me to climb those stairs and lungs to breath and a heart to pump the blood that gives me life to do all those things. At the top of those stairs is a loving husband sitting on our porch reading the paper and starting his day. What joy!!!!
When you are driving to work today and you think about whining about the traffic just be grateful that you are in a car. If you are upset because your drive is long to get to your job just be thankful you have a job. You are getting the drift I think.
