Perspective

What a day!  A friend was stranded in an airport for nine and a half hours waiting for take off while I was walking in a downpour here trying to get my walk in for the day.

I slugged along in my waterproof, (or not quite so waterproof,) jacket and felt quite noble about my dedication and “suffering.”  When in truth I enjoy cooler weather and even rain so much more than hot humid weather.

Still I love the idea that what I am doing is noble and it is fun walking along thinking about all the things attached to that!

Then it occurred to me that most of the enjoyment comes from choosing to do this.  If I were having to do it, like being stranded in an airport, or dealing with some other unpleasantness, it would be more frustrating and maybe even awful!

Funny how perspective changes things.
