I found this on blog I have been reading and I made it the background on my cell phone and on my laptop and I am trying to make it a way of thinking… 
Today was a beautiful day and I didn’t sleep it away! (Surprise! huh?) I went to the gym, and stopped at the grocery. I had a gentleman with some sort of developmental disability help me with my groceries.”Uh Oh, this one has a leak” He informed me my 1/2 gallon of milk was leaking. He promptly took my milk and went to get me another one, without being compelled. I smiled and was so grateful for the experience.
He noticed the small things. I had been too busy rushing around to get home to get things done before work and I had a million thoughts running through my head that I didn’t even notice that my milk was leaking in my cart… After checking the expiration date, in it went and off I went to the next isle. Stop and notice the small things. The grandeur of life is made up of small bits of sunshine and joy. Not just happiness, but true soul piercing joy. Smile at strangers, hold doors, be polite, give people the benefit of the doubt. Make every choice you make, count. When you do something wrong fix it and try harder the next time. Life is a gift that most everyone takes for granted, myself included. One patient I cared for recently changed that for me. She has spent most of the year since January in the Hospital fighting Cancer. Her own body is attacking it’s self and not once have I heard her mutter something negative. She fights everyday, all day for her life back, and is so resilient. I am grateful for the experiences I have at work and the lessons my patients and their families teach me.
We all have trials, tribulations and temptations. God has given us the power to overcome them, and not just get past them but learn something, and not just something we need but maybe something we need to share with someone else. So today I challenge you all to count the beautiful things around you and truely try to appreciate God’s gift to us… LIFE..
The woman in that video also has an inspiring blog … Nienie’s Dialogue .. Take a second to read, it’s touching, and then try even if it’s just for today to think positively and try to make a difference.
