Perspective

Last week I was having a particularly aggravating day with petty problems and other events. My wife called and asked me to pick up two pizzas from Pizza Hut on the way home because we were having some friends over for supper. I walked in to Pizza Hut and sat down to wait a bit while the pizzas were still cooking. A couple minutes later a man in a motorized scooter came in the store; picked up his pizzas, paid for them, got drinks out of the cooler, and later headed towards the exit. When he started to pass by me I said, "how ya doin' sir?" in a typical Lubbock way. He stopped his scooter, looked up at me and said, "I'm having a GREAT day." The man exclaimed these five words in the most sincerest way I have ever heard them said. He genuinely meant it and I could tell he never made excuses or sulked about his way of life.

As he left the store I realized we are dealt problems and trials in life, but I quickly learned that day how to really put them into perspective.
