Woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed, ever
happen to you, well it did to me this morning.
I just knew the negativity was gonna rule the day, no matter what I did
to change the outcome, I was gonna have a bad day…
1. Forgot to
eat breakfast, cause I didn't get all my other morning routine done, so I
skipped the most important meal of the day, but the blessing in
disguise, I got to sit with 4 preschoolers, and describe apples and
carrot with ranch dressing, most of the morning, since we were focusing on the
five senses today.
2. As I was working through the morning, picking up
the goldfish crackers, Kashi crisps, and string cheese wrapping and the split
sugar in the cabinet, and just cursing and mumbling under my breath with every
challenge that arose, and realized the blessing in disguise,
my boys are well fed, and are pretty well taken care of despite my “uncheery”
disposition.
3. Then I complained to a friend about being out of
food and having to go to the grocery store, on one of the days I had preschool,
which after teaching I am not in the mood to do anything else, but the blessing in disguise, I have the budget prepared to
be able to go to the store without hesitation knowing my crew needs the
nutrition.
4. After going to the crummy store, and getting the
bare necessities to last for a couple more days, I needed to get the lawn mowed
before the HOA writes us up, so as I am doing this chore, I run over the extension
cord, bout to cry and throw a fit in the front yard, kicking and screaming,
realized the blessing in disguise I didn't run over the my friends extension cord,
just my own, and after telling the hubby, I kinda got out of having to do that
chore, I think it’s because I ran over one last year as well, so I am sorta
restricted from having to mow the lawn…What a blessing.
5. So I have made dinner, waiting on the hubbie to
arrive home, and hurting all over, back is killing me, feet aching, and
discover the blessing in disguise that pain in just another way of telling myself I am
not dead yet.
So with every situation, every struggle, every bad day,
there is always a blessing in disguise behind each challenge given, it just depends on the
mindset of the individual going through the trial. Take a
step back, breathe, look around and realize things could really be a lot worse,
and that in through every battle there is a blessing in
disguise.
Good one. I never really thought about it much before, but there are always one if you look for it. Another one for you, Peej, is that you were not electrocuted when you ran over the extension cord.
