He's panting. He's jogging.
It's early, cold and cloudy.
One of those beautiful cloudy days. When the sky peeks from behind the clouds with that, gorgeous tint.
His dog kept the perfect speed for them to jog in sync.
Then all of a sudden, his foot feels this slight thump, as he gets his foot caught trying to step on the curved.
It happened all in slow motion.
He screamed out "OOOHHHHH SSHITT".
As his left right cheek slowly hit the pavement. His dog took off as soon as he smacked the ground.
And he just laid there and thought to him self for a second.
Laughed a little, hopped up and ran over to his dog.
He gets him self together. He starts dusting off his shirt, his shorts then continue's jogging back home.
When arrives home, he opens the gate and lets his dog loose from the leash. Walks into his house release his toes from his tennis shoes, while slowly catching his breath begins to walk down the hall way.
He then takes off his clothes, sits on the side of this bed. And begins to laugh at himself as he gets ready to go back to sleep.
The End.
I read some statistics on Jennifer Read Hawthorne website about negative thoughts.
Did you know 80% of your thoughts are negative?
Does that shock you?
The one takeaway from the story is his attitude. He did not beat himself up for tripping but he merely laughed at himself.
Let's not take life too seriously and enjoy the ups and downs we go through.
Go check out Joel Osteen's book " Think Better, Live Better" if you're struggling with more positive thoughts.
Sometimes you just gotta laugh at yourself and enjoy them falls. Let me know what you think of the book.
