Faith, flights & a roof

Posted on 14. Sep, 2009 by Sarah in General

This past weekend I was speaking at a race in Chicago. Being on a pretty tight budget I had to rely on the kind friends I have in the area. I spent each night in a different place. One morning the train left by 2 minutes, making me late for a meeting. One day one of my bags didn’t make it to my next “host home”. Then the last night I spent in ESPN Zone and the airport. All of these things were about to make me go crazy OR teach me some kind of lesson.

A lesson in going with flow. Or maybe breathing. Or taking time to be thankful for what I do have. Sometime is so easy for me to think of what I am going through at the present moment instead of being grateful for what I have.

Yeah, spending the night in the airport might not have been the greatest time of my life. But hey, at least I had a roof over my head:)

What can you be thankful for TODAY?

It’s always great to have perspective on whatever you are currently going through. A year ago when the stock market dropped, my business was drying up, and I wasn’t sure what to do, I thought about those less fortunate than me. Sure I lost 50% of my portfolio but what about the people that don’t even know what a “portfolio” is? This realization led me to start volunteering again. No matter how bad I have it, there are others out there they may be having a tougher time and need help. It’s never as bad as you think.

I’m thankful that I have a job that I love and the possibly of future growth.
