There’s the old saying “ever have one of those days”, well, that would have fit me perfectly Monday, but I choose to live by another saying, too blessed to be stressed, and find ways I was blessed from each.
I woke up thinking that I should have taken the day off, I mean we were gone for 3 days. . . . . the pile of laundry, the unpacking, the photos to upload, the sleep, so many reasons to stay home. . . but I didn’t take off, so off to work it was. . blessing number one, having a job to go to.
Brian was going to check on my vehicle, so he said to take his truck, ok, so I go to leave and I think, as soon as I take this truck he’s going to need some tool and it’s going to be in there, so I went back in and got the keys to the little car. I hate driving this car, I mean going from driving a Tahoe to a little Saturn, no thank you, anyway off to work I go. (blessing: having the option of which vehicle to take) I get to work and get out of the little car and I take a step and couldn’t walk right. I look down and see that the strap on my sandal had broken so my foot would go one way, and the shoe would go the other. To top it off I knew the ladies in the drive thru could see me, so I struggled for a little while, then I just took it off and walked in without a shoe on. I stapled the strap on and it held good enough to get me down the stairs to check my mail and to go and talk to the ladies - they thought I had gotten hurt over the weekend, but I told them I was fine, and it was just my shoe that was broken, not my leg – we all got a good laugh. (blessing: no injury)
A little later, I realized that I hadn’t eaten anything for breakfast, so I had my piece of fruit and went to cut it, well when I did the knife slipped and nicked my finger. (blessing: not a big cut)
Brian had called that he and the boys would come to town and bring me some shoes and we could all go to lunch – yeah, I get to see them, I get a different pair of shoes, and I get to go out to lunch!!! They pick me up (my shoe broke again as I was walking out the door) and we go to the restaurant, while there I needed to go to the ladies room, so I went. . . and the toilet paper was stuck up in the dispenser so I could not get any out, luckily the napkins to dry your hands were right there, so all was well. . . .yet another blessing
I made it through the rest of the afternoon without a hitch, and headed home and then stayed on the couch the rest of the evening. . . with my blessings around me.
Oh, and there’s nothing wrong with the Tahoe, my wonderful hubby accidentally left the parking break on and we drove from his parents to our house with it on, this caused a smell and heat from the back tire area, so we thought something was going out on it. He was upset about it (about being so dumb (his words) and leaving the break on), but I was excited that there wasn’t something seriously wrong with it. . . . blessing.
I guess I could also throw in that last Wednesday evening the screen on my cell phone when out, and I called to use the insurance and get a different one, but found out that I could get a new one for less because our contract is up and we can renew, so I decided to wait because I'm going to Victoria this week, and we could get new ones. . . .well good thing because this weekend my wonderful hubby realized after being in the lake for about 30 minutes that his phone was still in his pocket. . . blessings I decide to wait.
So yes, I’m too Blessed to be Stressed –

Don’t let the little things get to you and find your blessings anyway you can.
