Slightly Uncomfortable

By Abe Newmeyer, September 30, 2019

Gratitude & Perspective

For the past couple of days, I’ve had a leaking of water in my apartment. Once the problem was identified, the window A/C unit was the culprit. It simply needed cleaning but I couldn’t use the unit until said cleaning was performed. That being said, I slept without air conditioning last night and it was slightly uncomfortable.

I adjusted the sofa and placed it under the ceiling fan but sleeping on the sofa was uncomfortable. So is living in another country about 10,000 miles away from where I grew up. My pursuit of purpose has led to uncomfortable moments, as will yours. Being uncomfortable is temporary.

Today, Monday, September 30, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’ve made it through the last couple of days without much sadness. I’ve often thought of Ronnie and Mom but not much sadness. It’s great to have the memories, pleasant and unpleasant, and to not have those memories immobilize me and my movements. I’m not living in a self imposed prison of mental anguish.

I had a chance to stop last night and hear Bruce play. It’s great developing new relationships and I’m glad to have an opportunity to lay some more stones on the foundation of our growing alliance. I say “alliance” as it can be challenging to relocate and live within another culture.

Get Uncomfortable. Be Impactful!
