Chalk this up to the universe telling me to get my shit straight, but...
A few days before Thanksgiving, I was having a real shit day at work - basically wondering why the fuck the day went to hell.
I was parked on the street in my company car pondering this fucked up day when a small school bus pulled up in front of me. It sat there awhile and then slowly descended its side ramp. A young girl in a wheelchair soon appeared, boarded and went off to school. Not long after that occurred I happened to look up again, and this gentleman is slowly strolling down the sidewalk. He appeared to have scoliosis or other malady of the body causing a very abrupt gait in his stride -- but he was going about his day regardless. And again not long after that, another gentleman is walking down the sidewalk, but appeared very disheveled with his clothes in tatters. He looked confused and just meandered from side to side as he went down the block.
A nice reality check from the universe: I go home everyday to a loving wife and two kids and live comfortably. So, yeah, I'm quite thankful for a lot in life.
