iTexas Realty Co. Blog: Flat Tires and a Dead Battery? Why is this Great?

This evening I was reading a post by Russel Ray in San Diego,  Russel tells us that he has had quite a weekend in which his automobile had been immobilized - not once, but twice.  I notice that Russel seemed to take this all in stride and that got me thinking.

So often, when things like this happen, people get really upset and I can understand the frustration.  In my life, things have not always been so smooth (and helping people by and sell homes in San Antonio, Texas can have a few, ahhh, challenges).  So, I've learned to look at these things a different way than many. 

I am grateful-

I know that sounds a little kooky, but if a bit of car trouble is the worst thing that happens in the day, I can deal with it.  After all, no one was hurt, not one is ill, no animals were injured and no bankruptcy will ensue.

How often do we let little things seem like big things and forget how blessed we truly are? 

I have this question for all of our friends (It seemed appropriate for a Sunday.):

Even on a day with aggravations: How many people would gladly trade places with you? 

To have your wonderful spouse, to enjoy your amazing children, to have your great family and friends, to have your health, to do a job that you love, or to have the opportunities that you enjoy?
