Some days it’s needed more than others

I had one of those mornings yesterday.  I was up and heading to the pool for my half mile of laps and feeling righteous.  I tore into the water only to find that my goggles leaked—bad!  (If you’re a swimmer you know how annoying that is.)  

Seeing my struggles, the lifeguard suggested I turn the goggles upside down.  It worked!  That’s a great analogy for life, isn’t it?  Gaining a new perspective by looking at matters a different way.  It helps us to make adjustments in our way of thinking and our behavior.  And trust me, I needed that positive attitude because a short while later I got trapped in an elevator, all by myself, in a basement. Luckily I had my cell phone with me and I was rescued in short order.  

 Yup, it was one of those days!
