These last few days I have found myself getting increasingly annoyed.  Nothing major, just minor things stacking up on top of each other.  Little things like...

A 2 hour home inspection with an inspector that talks...  ALOT

Moving my mother in law back to Fort Wayne...  how can a single woman have so much STUFF????

Found out my son is not turning in homework in a few classes and getting failing grades

And a few other things I won't talk about here.  :)  Well, after mowing my mother in law's yard that hadn't been mowed in a month I had just about had it.  I come home with the intention to get a good workout in on the treadmill.  I walk in and guess what?  My wife had just started her workout.  Okay, no biggie........  I'll just go on a bike ride instead...  GRRRRRRRRRRR

I hop on the bike and I start riding and thinking.  I thought about all the little things that have frustrated me lately.  I wondered why I let so many little things get to me when I normally don't.  I then started thinking about others around me... like my neighbor Steve who just lost his wife last week, or my neighbor Chris who just lost his mom last week, or all the people that died 8 years ago today. 


I felt my heart lighten and my body relax.  I felt the tension start to leave my body.  I then thought about all that I was thankful for and all the great things I have going in my life.  I smiled and said the following in my head...

God, thank you for everything that you provide for me, and thank you for helping me see that I need to lighten up and stop taking things so seriously.  Life is good!!!  Thank you.

Then all of a sudden out of no where:

SPLAT!!!!!!!!!! 

A bird pooped on both of my arms.  My wife laughed as hard as I've seen her laugh in a while, and she laughs a lot.

Point taken.  :)

Jared, I can only imagine the bird was saying, "gotcha".  It's always the little things that seem to cause the most frustration and pain.  Great post.

Second to a good work out there is little better in the world to ease the stress and get the blood pumping like a good laugh. Here is another thought to give you a chuckle...wise man say "if you don't know if you should laugh or cry- fart" - it relieves the tension". Have a great day.

Hmm, wonder why a short home inspection frustrated you!

But remember, it's a wonderful day when you wake up in the morning.  You have it better than 95% of people in the world.  Make the most of it.

And learn to dodge the bird poop!  When you discover how, please let us know.  We need to dodge occasionally too!

And remember, (as Steve advised) just Fart!  The tension will fade away quickly!
