So for the past few days my a/c has been on the fritz! I had a guy come over and check it out when it went out on Saturday, and he replaced the thermostat. It started to work after that, for a few days anyway. Yesterday evening it went out for good, and the guy could not make it here until this evening! OH YA i forgot to mention I live in Phoenix AZ, LOL!!! Ya so it was really really really HOT in my house today. So I was no were near my computer today, my computer is on the second floor of the house! It is crazy how much I took having a/c for granted, it always happens that way. It is like we just get so use to having things just working, and then poof it is gone!
No matter how hard I try to not take anything for granted, there is always something I miss. I really do try to be appreciative of every thing I have in my life, I have been down this road before,,, many times before! Just as I think I am thankful for everything in my life, life has a way of reminding you about the one you missed. I am constantly humbled by the challenges I face on the regular. If you are paying attention life is just one big pile of lessons, and I am glad I have come far enough in life too see that. The guy that eventually fixed the a/c, it was the fan motor by the way, is my fiancee's ex. He is the father of her children that also stay with us, and I make sure to stay humble so it increases the chances of me and him getting along. I am grateful that he fixed it, and maybe this will be a chance to fix mine and his relationship. He currently has a girlfriend that is trying to create drama, and I just wish that he would make her stop. This girlfriend of his has over stepped her bounds with my fiancee's children, and this has caused a riffed between my fiancee and him. It an interesting situation to say the least!
No matter how old or how young you are life's lessons are all around you every day, and if you are just paying attention just a little bit you can learn so much from them. On top of all of that I still have so much to learn, and that is the most exciting thing about being alive! For me a least, that is what makes life worth living. I want to keep learning all the way to the end, learning really does bring more meaning to my life. If you also combine learning with compassion, wha la you get some contentment out of it!!! There are more things to add of course, but these two are biggies for me. Heck I continue to learn how to be more compassionate, now that is a good combination. No matter how hard life gets, no matter what life throws at you, no matter how many times you fall down,,, If you just get back up, or just keep moving forward, with compassion and the willingness to learn from others, and your mistakes you can find some level of happiness. Also if you really want to feel better, help others! You don't have to feel ashamed that you help others to feel happy, that why it works and you want to do it more. I am in such a good mind set at the moment, and I am very grateful for that! I want to share this feeling with all of you and I hope I was able to give some of my happiness too you as well!! Ok everyone have a good evening, and stay cool out there if you are in a hot area!
P.S. IT IS STILL HOT IN MY ROOM :-0 LOL
