one small step

It’s relatively easy to notice the large things that impact our lives – company closes, a new freeway ramp is built, the city’s team makes it to the championship. But what about the small things? Example: Last week I walked onto the elevator to work along with 8 other people. Because some of the passengers was heavier than average – and because there were so many people on it already – the door’s wouldn’t close. Naturally, we all scampered onto another elevator. But that one wouldn’t close, either. So I decided to take the stairs. My office is 7 floors up. I was winded after 4. Which meant I was only uncomfortable for 3 flights of stairs. And I thought, how silly I’d been to not realize how much it would improve my cardio health to add that 7 flight incline to my workout by using the stairs each day. Soon I’ll be winded after 5, then 6. Then not at all. I could have been annoyed at the event. But I wasn’t. I saw it instead as an opportunity to improve my ways.
