blessings from above

about a week or so ago, hubby and i were out running errands and decided to stop at del taco for lunch.
as he was turning into their driveway, he felt something odd when he stepped on the brakes..  he looked at me and said.. i think we have a flat tire..  we parked the car and when he looked at it, sure enough, there it was,
flatter than flat.   so we went into del taco, ordered something to eat and drink and then he called triple A to come change our tire..  they arrived approx 30 min later.. it took me a while to find the blessings here.. first of all, i have a tendency to panic when car issues happen..  and i was already hot and grumpy from the heat and lack of food..  i couldnt help it, the tears welled up and overflowed..  i guess that was like the last straw in a very trying week..  so while hubby was outside with the triple a representative who was changing our tire, i decided i needed an attitude adjustment.. so i started saying my thank yous to the universe for all of our blessings.. and finally i saw the blessings in this episode of our day..  it could have been so much worse.. our angels were looking out for us..  first of all, the flat didnt happen while we were on the freeway going 70 mph where an accident may have happened and someone hurt.. it didnt happen on a lone stretch of roadway where we would be without relief from the blazing hot sun without any food or water with us.. Instead,  it happened when we were going less than five miles an hour and was very gentle..  it happened where we were able to get food, drink , use of restroom facilities and cool shelter from the hot sun that is part of our normal climate  in palm springs, ca..  while we waited for the assistance from triple a to arrive....   so when i changed how i was looking at the situation, the situation became manageable for me.  and in that, we were blessed and i thank our guardian angels for looking out for us..  sometimes i feel the brush of their wings.. and other times, i have to quiet my mind in order to hear them and feel their presence in my heart.
