Today it was announced on the news that snow is expected to fall in Sacramento. Since moving here from Hawaii 11 years ago, I have only seen this happen once and it was hardly snow. So I must admit that I am curious what things will look like when I wake up tomorrow morning. We always joke about how dangerous it is to drive the first day a rain falls so I can only wonder what people must be thinking about for tomorrow. On one hand I could think of the potential difficulties in getting to work ( this city is so NOT equipped for snow) or I could think how nice it would make things look for since it is the Christmas season. Either way, there is nothing I can do, whatever happens, happens.
I remember sometime back after the fire engines from our nearby station went roaring by for the umpteenth time someone saying " Oh good, another person is getting help." and realizing that things depend upon how we look at them. The person whom I heard saying this was one who tried to see the good in everything and from then on I decided I would endeavor to do the same. Granted, I have not always been successful but I do get better as I progress in age.
In one of the books I have read recently it was mentioned by the author that when being presented with a difficult situation; one should ask "How does this serve me?" and "What do I stand to learn from this?". Reading this, I decided that I would need to adopt a similar philosophy when presented with trying circumstances in my life. I truly believe that it has helped.
Thank you for reading this and.............................PEACE!
