Headlines on the highway

Tonight, I was going to a professional evening dinner and networking meeting and I was driving in the dark in snowy New Jersey and it suddenly dawned on me that each pair of head lights right at this particular time of night were all people heading home after a long day of work.

As I drove down the interstate and I saw pairs of head lights after pairs of head lights I wondered if the people behind the wheel actually knew how fortunate they were to be driving home from a job. Then I thought, I believe I will just offer up a prayer to each driver to be aware that he or she is very blessed to be able to drive home from a job. Blessed that they have gas in that car. Blessed that they have a car to drive.

Suddenly, the lights seem to soften from the glare that they had been only a moment before. I felt much lighter and I noticed I was smiling and singing along with the radio.

Counting your own blessings daily is a very positive experience and way to live. It is doubled when you pass the blessing on to others.

Try it and see what happens!
