I was recently visiting with a dear friend, and she was telling me how her daughter had called saying that she'd run out of gas. She went and bought a gas can, filled it, and put it in the back seat of her very nice, newer car. While transporting it to her daughter, some of the fuel leaked out from the lid onto the carpet in her car. After numerous attempts to clean it, she was frustrated that she could still smell the gas when she got into her car. "Funny," she said, "I never noticed the smell of my car before this. I wish I would have enjoyed the non-gasoline smell more!"
Often, it's not until something goes wrong that we realize how good we had it before. Just this week, I've had a plugged ear and non-stop ringing in my ear. How I wish I could have good hearing (and NO RINGING!!!) in my ear again! I'm certain it will pass with this cold, but boy am I going to enjoy the quiet in my head when it finally happens!
I hope you take the time to enjoy the little things in life that we take for granted... the sound of little feet running around, the smell of spring flowers, having running water, food to eat, the ability to read. Oh... and maybe that you don't have an incessant ringing in your ear.
Happy Sunday Friends!
