Sobering Thoughts

- My mind races daily of prioritizing tasks from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed.  Never do I write any of my to do lists down- these tasks just sit there idling in my mind waiting for me to mentally check them off.
- My thoughts are at times uncontrollable on the long commutes to work so I tune them out by listening to christian radio WMHK 89.7 just to hear a glimpse of peace because trust me I could drown myself in a sea of "what ifs" and the songs sing lullabies to my heart, mind and soul.
-This very morning my mind raced unruly thoughts. Worries came to mind and fears came rolling behind. Satan tried to enter my very being with thoughts of doubts and disbelief's.
- Time is never on my side.
-And it appeared that the events of my morning were going to set the tone for a dark and gloomy day: inside and out.

 Then-two blocks away from work I saw the most beautiful sight which is ironic because what I saw was a person who could not see.  A blind man. I imagined what his story could be. His eyes were covered. He walked with a long walking stick and two guides were behind him.  He was learning how to walk all over again only this time without his sight. He could not see the traffic at the intersection but his guides were teaching him to listen carefully.  He could not see the roots that made their way through the  sidewalk but he was using his sight stick to feel the things he could not see. He could not see the sun peeking through the shade trees but he knew the sun was out to warm the day because he took off his jacket.  He could not see me admiring his determination but he was there to lead me.  He was the blind leading the blind. He led my thoughts astray. My thoughts that were being held hostage to darkness. My mind was blind. I was being trapped by the things of this world.
It was a heavenly nudge to move forward and to rescue my thoughts. At that moment, thanks to this earthly angel, I chose to be thankful, full of joy and to continue to count my blessings one by one.
