I'm really not sure why I'm posting this. Maybe somebody here needs to read this today. Heck, it's a good reminder for all of us. I sat at breakfast this morning feeling a little tired and honestly a little discouraged about the length of the hiring process to become an LEO and a scene played back in my mind from 4 or 5 years ago so I thought I would share it.
It's a lunch time on a Friday afternoon, I'm sitting in the drive thru at the bank to deposit my check. It's been a really rough week. One of those where everything you touch turns to sh*t. So I'm sitting there "reflecting" on what a lousy week it has been. I deposit my check and turn left out of the bank parking lot onto the street and stop at the stop light. I look to my left and see a little boy probably about 10 years old crossing the street with a lady assisting (teaching) him. As look closer I realize he has a walking stick. He is blind.
Talk about feeling like crap. I sat there and thought to myself, I just deposited a pretty nice pay check, I'm sitting in a fairly nice truck and complaining about how bad I have it. When you put everything into the proper perspective I've got it pretty damn good. Makes you think.
I'm not a touchy, feely kind of guy but even I got a little choked up as I sat there and watched that kid doing the best he could with the circumstances he was given and reflecting inward on my **** poor attitude about everything I have been blessed with.
