Living

My wife and I walked down to the lake this afternoon and enjoyed a picnic lunch. The day was overcast with a slight cool breeze, and we wondered if it would rain. As we settled onto the bench near the lake the sun peaked though the gloom and bathed us in warmth. We watched the birds fly by and the fish jump, my wife laughed and commented that if we had been trying to fish the fish would not have been there.

I can't help but reflect on the fact that if I hadn't been hurt at work I would not have been able to enjoy the moment at the lake.

Sometimes things which seem like a disaster bring blessings with it.
