Small changes

I've learned recently to make small improvements daily in things that matter. I'd like to learn HTML to be a web designer and network with churches through the web. I love the potential of blogs to develop networks and friendships across the country. So this is my first step in that direction.

This morning I got up about quarter to six for a training appointment. I was running late, so I made toast and peanut butter to go. I fumbled around in the dark as I headed toward the back door with my portfolio case, my mountain trekking backpack, and a plastic plate with two pieces of toast. I forced the door open and dropped my portfolio case down the basement stairs. A little light illuminated a missing piece of toast. I flipped on the overhead light and noticed that the missing piece of toast had fallen and got jammed under the door-- peanut butter smeared across the bottom of the door. I quickly cleaned it up and headed out the door and began to panic. I was running late. But I decided to relax, and just laugh at the situation. It's a million to one shot that toast would land face up and jammed under the door. It's a small thing to laugh in a stressful situation, but it's made my day.
