Today I was in a rather grumpy mood. Just a few little things annoying me and pissing me off. You know, one of those days when you are just crabby.
Then I met this former child soldier. It was an interview we were doing for work (one of the things I love about my job: meeting interesting people). He told us the story of his life and he's been through a lot of heart-wrenching, awful stuff. But if you could see him today - he just oozes joy and hope and peace.
So who am I to be crabby because of a few minor annoyances? That encounter put things into perspective again for me. I have so much to be grateful for. And I know where his joy is coming from. I just have to tap into that source.
