A surprise reminder

Just wanted to share this.

So, last night just had me fuming. Just a bad shift... not horribly busy or anything, but there were just too many things going on that were further reinforcing the fact that I need to find a new place to work. I am usually able to put on a smile and let things roll off my back, but I was just super fed up and in a bad mood in general. Not good for anyone... Spent the entire drive home, on the phone, ranting about how much things suck there.

So, I get home and park, and for some reason I look underneath the radio/controls part of the dashboard. There is a little dip there for tossing spare change. I bought this car used and have had it a few years. Never noticed before that this little plastic piece pops out. Pulled it out and it was just a bunch of wiring and such. Scrunched down to look farther back and noticed the corner of a tiny piece of paper sitting in a small box-like piece at the back. Dug around til I got a grasp on it and pulled it out. It was an old, rather dirty/greasy fortune from a fortune cookie that said "You have so much to be thankful for." Sat there mildly stunned for a few moments.

What a bizarre way to be reminded. I really needed that... Think I may go in to work with a bit of a better attitude tonight...

Specializes in Pediatrics (hopefully).

Thank you for sharing...I love stories like these!!:redpinkhe I think little things like this remind us that life is good, and to enjoy it!
