Our soggy wood pile:
Another inch of rain fell overnight. It is still raining. The wind is still howling. Nothing has changed.
Miracles do happen though. I got up early and went to the DMV to renew my driver's license. I didn't bother getting an appointment (doesn't seem to help)--so I brought a book along, figuring I could get some reading done. When I got to the DMV, I discovered there was no line! I walked right up to the desk and within five minutes I had my new license. A miracle!
So when I got home much earlier than anticipated, another bit of good news was awaiting; something which had been clouding my mind for a few weeks. And again, it was in my (our) favor.
So I took my walk in the rain with gratitude on my countenance.
Isn't that like life? When you get discouraged, something always comes along to help. Something as small as no line at the DMV can be a blessing. The real trick is to get to the point where you are neutral about all events (especially the negative ones) in your life --to see the blessings in all circumstances.
Pollyannish? You bet. Sign me up.

Congrats on a good day ... positive experiences at the DMV are few and far between. I've lived in many, many places and have found this to be a universal truth. Good things come to those who walk, I think. :-)
