1st I was upset because Elizabeth Park was closed unless you were attending Jazzfest. I did not want to attend Jazzfest I just wanted to walk the dog and eat my ice cream.
2nd My ice cream came like soup in a cup. I had to throw half of it out because it was melting all over my car and then I barely ate any because it was literally like warm soup in a cup.
Then I thought to myself, why am I getting upset over something this small? Too often we get upset over the littlest of things. It creates stress upon us whether we think it does or not. My whole focus lately had been to not worry about things that do not have a huge impact on my life. If it doesn't concern me leave it be. If it concerns the well being of others, help point them in a positive direction and be nice and leave it at that. I have been having a lot of chest pain lately and I do not need to create this additional worry and stress upon my heart if its unnecessary.
Our lives are so much better than what we think. We have roofs over our heads, food in our refrigerator, and at least one friend or family member who loves us. There are so many people who have none of that. They have a t-shirt, pair of pants and may eat scraps once a day. There are people who will never eat ice cream again because they will never be able to afford it. There are people who do not get to walk.
I am blessed and a little melted ice cream should never dampen my attitude.
