Everything truly IS relative, isn't it? If we will use that to our advantage, it can really impact our attitudes.
For example, today it was down right cold in Florida. He haven't been in the 30's all year, and this morning it was a nippy 37 degrees.......
Earlier today my daughter in Springfield, MO, let me know she didn't want to hear about it, as she was looking at a single digit 9 on her thermometer....... I was wrong earlier. Now THAT's cold!
I just got off the phone with my brother who lives in Iowa. Uh huh, you know where I'm going..... 29 degrees BELOW zero, with a wind chill of 50 below! I mean it this time, THAT'S cold!
Should I go on?
No matter what goes on during our day, week, month or year, I can promise you I can find somebody going through a worse time or situation -- which of course will make you feel a lot better about your circumstances...... Keep that in mind the next time your finances look in shambles, or the car breaks down, or you don't feel like you have any time to yourself, etc.....
One last thought to make my point --
Tomorrow go to the pharmacy and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson. Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice in small print that there is a statement: "Every rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson has been personally tested and then sanitized."
Now repeat after me, Thank God I don't work in the thermometer quality control department for Johnson & Johnson.
Glad I could be there for you. Let's look for the best in the day and I'm sure we'll find it.
God bless.
