Unroutine Deviation

By Abe Newmeyer, July 29, 2019

Writing & CreationGratitude & Perspective

My day started with adults screaming and crying. When I left my condo to investigate there were several adults chaotic as their toddler was in respiratory distress. Unable to assist or speak the language, I retreated to my condo. Not sure what happened to the child as I don’t typically see my neighbors.

Today, Monday, July 29, 2019, I am grateful that:

Those I know as safe and healthy. Good health is such a simple thing, yet when it’s not yours any longer, I’m certain I’ll react as most everyone and remember with envy the days of long past.

I am true to myself. I didn’t try to offer assistance as I’m not qualified. I didn’t know what to say or what to do so I simply left. In years past I would have injected myself into the situation, ill equipped to assist, and probably have made things worse.

I actually wrote this. It’s nearly midnight and I’ve done about everything I can do to avoid writing, yet here I sit. Fingers on the keyboard, penning a brief but sincere gratitude list. I’m curious how writing the list at night will affect my rest versus starting my day with the list.

Improve Your Health. Be Impactful!
