Find the Good

A few weeks ago, I was driving to a Doctor appointment, and because I was frustrated at having to go to my doctor’s new place of practice, which was twice as far as it was before...plus, I was running a little late...well needless to say I was fussing, fuming and agitated. All of a sudden a thought came to my mind, reminding me that I was driving on a very beautiful scenic mountainous road and that I should just enjoy the beauty of the scenery and stop fussing. The thought also included counsel to start finding the good in any given situation, time and place.

Well, of course that thought instantly humbled me and made me take stock of my behavior. I will tell you, that little gem of a thought has made a big difference whenever I begin to get agitated at something. I calm down and remind myself to find something good about the situation.
