Like Clouds on the Ground

It was a Monday and we were late.

I stepped outside thinking about how the fog was going to slow us down.

But, not her.

No, because when you’re six and off to another wonderful day in Kindergarten, the world looks bright and shiny even when it’s not.  She bounded off the step not knowing that being pessimistic comes with Monday mornings and she certainly did not see the fog as any sort of inconvenience.

No, not her.

As if she’d just unwrapped a gift, she exclaimed, “Yay, the clouds are on the ground today! Sometimes, God puts them there so we can touch them, Mom.”

And so, I suppose when we change our way of looking at things, our attitude changes, too.

Like clouds on the ground,  look for all the good things God has given you today and don’t miss the miracles found even on a Monday morning.
