...you wake up 8 minutes after you should leave for work and 7 minutes before you must leave for work...
...you make good time on I-4 until hitting bumper-to-bumper traffic for miles and call work to say you don't know when you'll be there...
...your gas light comes on while at a standstill on the interstate, with who knows how long until you can exit...
...you stare out your window after in hour in traffic, contemplating if it's socially acceptable to pee in the median on the interstate, because you drank a whole bottle of water thinking you'd be at work already...
...your whole body starts quivering in physical pain as you try not to pee your pants after finally making it to the exit...
...you arrive at work an hour and a half late after spending two and a half hours getting to work when it should have taken an hour...
...you arrive at your location at work only to find out half of your cashiering technology doesn't work...
...your day finally gets better until it starts pouring while walking to your car...
...you drive home, soaking wet, for an hour in the rain...
you know, that kind of day.
But you know what? I've been doing a really great job at thinking more positively lately and being thankful for the little things every day.
I'm thankful I woke up today in my own bed.
I'm thankful my car started.
I'm thankful I have a job.
I'm thankful for bladder muscles that work.
I'm thankful for gas station bathrooms.
I'm thankful I have a cell phone.
I'm thankful I have a job that allows me to make people smile every day.
I'm thankful for warm showers.
I'm thankful I serve a God who cares enough about me to help me not pee in my car and who gets me to and from work safely.
I'm thankful for today.
This song came on the radio twice while I was on my way home tonight (88.3 in Orlando and 106.1 in Lakeland) and I think it went well with my day today...
Every good thing comes from the Lord. We shouldn't take these little things for granted!
