On Rain and the Saleslady - A Lesson :)

Tweet

When I woke up this morning and saw the rays of sunlight passing through my window curtains, I uttered (and declared), "It won't rain today!" And it didn't. (Yahooooo!) --- But, ONLY from the moment I woke up, took a bath, had breakfast with my mom, prepared myself for work and rode the jeepney. On the way to work, (*tOinks!*) it rained, again for the nth time! Argh! Well, I always love rain. However, the rain had been on and off since September started and unfortunately, it's always "on". It will be sunny for just 5 minutes, then it will rain hard for HOURS! waaaaah! And most of the time, since last week, I had been busy going to fieldworks and have to go through the rain and be "WET" when I arrived to the client's premises. wahuhuhu! I had been complaining about the rain. Actually, due to the rain, I am reporting to work at 10AM since last week! (tehehehe!) And most of the time, I had to wear black pants, so that dirts will not be that "visible". :p And I had to wear higher sandals, because there are some streets that are flooded. ---- I had been complaining about the rain. :p (obviously) ------------------------------------------------------------ A few days ago, on my way to work, there was a saleslady who was also riding the same jeepney where I was. She wears their company uniform - the blue one with the "G" on the left side - the length of their uniform is just fitted above their knees. It's mandatory, I think (that the length of their uniforms must be that "short"). And she was holding her transparent company bag where all of her make-ups, wallet and other personal things are kept. It was just a small bag - almost 7 inches in width and 4 inches in height. While she sat, her above-the-knee uniform "went up" and almost half of her legs (she wore stockings) were "exposed" to the people riding in the jeepney. If I was on her shoes, I would really be uncomfortable. And with all the heavy rain going on, I wonder how she felt when she reports to work - wet and "messy". Plus the fact, that she will be standing the WHOLE day due to the nature of her work. ------------------------------------------------------------ And toinks! All the while, I'd been complaining about the hussle-bussle caused by the rain. I should have been thankful for the little blessings. First, I can report to work at any time I wanted. Second, I can choose any sandals that I want to wear (even if it's no longer suited as office shoes. However, I had to be "formal" when we have client meeting). Third, when I arrived here in the office, I can sit, browse the internet and start my work at the time I wanted (hehehe). And lastly, I can choose a bag as big as I wanted so that ALL of my things can fit. "Thank You, Lord for the small blessings. May I continue to appreciate the small and simple things that also matter." ---- And oh! I'm looking outside our office window, it "seems" to be sunny now. :) =============================================== How about you? Any experience that you want to share where you learn a lesson about life? :)
