Earlier I posted about the kindness of strangers and running out of gas.
At the beginning of the post, I mentioned going out of my way to avoid a woman on a handicapped scooter because I didn’t want the “green beast” to make her nervous. It makes a lot of weird noises and is a. . .beast.
PSA: Not my legs. Or my shoes
That was not the last time I saw her.
After driving to the gas station, pushing my car, walking to Target, and purchasing the gas can – I ran into her again. When I was walking back to the gas station, I saw her with her scooter, just entering the shopping center parking lot.
I was envious of her and thankful for my life at the same time.
I was envious because she was so in the moment; taking her time to get where she was going. There wasn’t the sense of ‘wanting to be there faster’ that I feel ALL the time.
And I was thankful for my life, because the worst thing that happened to me today was running out of gas, and I am physically able to push my car. My legs work. That is not a given – I am not ‘owed’ working legs. They are a blessing.
I wish I would have talked to her. I wanted to – but I didn’t want to interrupt her world.
What are you thankful for today?

My spouse and i ended up being very excited when Chris could round up his investigations out of the precious recommendations he got from your very own site. It is now and again perplexing to simply happen to be making a gift of information that some people might have been making money from. And we also fully understand we now have the blog owner to give thanks to for this. Those explanations you’ve made, the simple site menu, the relationships you help to foster – it’s everything amazing, and it’s really helping our son and us feel that the theme is exciting, which is very vital. Thank you for all the pieces!
