Find the Gift

We often get caught up in the negativity around us. It's easy when we hear about and perhaps even experience violence, death, destruction, loss, accidents, or simply our own unmet expectations. We might find it nearly impossible to see any of these in a positive light, perhaps even see them as gifts.

My basement flooded a couple of weeks ago. Too much water fell in a very short period of time. The sewer line backed up into my basement and many of those in the neighborhood. There was nothing I could do. Nothing. Except watch the water flow in.

The gift, the perspective I choose to take, is that I now had the opportunity to enjoy a different view while working from the dining room table instead of the desk in the basement. Inconvenient? No doubt. Would I have moved my working space if not for the flooding? Definitely not. The gift is that the flooding forced me to move my daily workspace.
