This morning as I was taking care of my breakfast needs I realized something which one can easily take for granted. On my way to work i stopped by some street vendors to buy me some avocados, I bought 3 to be exact, i thought they cost more than they actually did, only to find they were much much less, anyway, there was to be about 6 bucks change then I decided let me buy peanuts which were sitting there looking very miserable, they cost 2 bucks each, so I took 3 packets. You should have seen the expression on the woman's face when I bought all that stuff, yes 20 bucks worth of stuff, its like she had hit a jackpot.
It suddenly hit me, while I am worrying about what I think are big problems, she is just wanting to sell her merchandise so she can put food on her table and probably her kids and grandkids etc. She even gave me a sweet as a bonus for me, yes she happily gave me a sweet, a sweet which I cldn't care less for, I threw it somewhere in my car where I am sure my son will find and will probably be very excited for.
Let us try and be thankful for what we have, someone out there wants that job you have, or the life you have, or simply the most basic things in life. I am blessed, truly blessed, I thank God.
