The ' L I T T L E ' Things


 
The ' T ' Things


As you might remember, the head of a company survived 
9/11  because his son started kindergarten


Another fellow was alive because it was
 
His turn to bring donuts.
 

One woman was late because her 

Alarm clock didn't go off in time.
 

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike

Because of an auto accident.
 

One of them 

Missed his bus.
 

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
Time to change.
 

One's
 
Car wouldn't start.
 

One couldn't
 
Get a taxi.
 

T
he one that struck me was the man 
Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, 
Took the various means to get to work 
But before he got there, he developed 
a blister on his foot. 


He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid

That is why he is alive today..
 


Now when I am
 
Stuck in traffic
 , 
Miss an elevator,
 
Turn back to answer a ringing telephone 
...
All the little things that annoy me. 
I think to myself, 
This is exactly where
 The universe wants me to be 
At this very moment..
 

Next time your morning seems to be 

Going wrong 


You can't seem to find the car keys, 
You hit every traffic light,

Don't get mad or frustrated;
 
It May be just that
 
Love and the universe is at work watching over you.
 
 


May Good luck continue to bless you 

With all those annoying little things 

And may you remember their possible purpose.

--
May you be well, happy, peaceful.

With Gratitude,
ROBIN
