New beginnings day28,109



New beginning's
Are often disguised as
Painful endings

About 50 years ago I read
Think and grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
And I learned that
Every adversity has within 
The seeds of equal or greater advantage 
And as the decades past
I form the habit of
Asking myself where is the good in this
So last fall I am on the interstate with a flat tire
And I'm muttering to myself
About a stubborn lug nut
And I remembered what is the good in this
Practice I realized I can practice being grateful
Grateful that I had a jack and tire iron
And that the spare wasn't flat
Grateful that it wasn't raining
Life starts a new each moment
If I look I can always find something 
To be grateful for

New beginning's
Are often disguised as
Painful endings
Lao Tzu
