While the skies were throwing an electrical tantrum last night, I was oddly at peace—dozing between thunderclaps like a seasoned nap ninja. If only I could summon that same calm during a Wi-Fi outage or when I realize I left my grocery list on the kitchen counter.
Yesterday, we were under tornado watch from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m. Around 9 p.m. thunderstorms rolled in one after another throughout the night. I enjoy thunderstorms. I’d wake up when a lightening flash and the accompanying thunder were seemingly instantaneous, then it was off to dream land. If there was a tornado, hoped the sirens were loud enough to wake me. I’d like to feel as calm as I feel during a thunderstorm when I get caught up the day’s chaos. That’s a good goal to work toward since most of the day’s chaos isn’t too important. Yet, it is easy to give it more importance than it deserves. Let’s try walking through today and let the small irritations flow on by. Keep a smile on and shine your light.
