Hi. I am sitting in the Albuquerque Airport waiting to see if the next flight out of here is available. I already tried for one flight. No luck. I am confirmed on a flight that is about four hours from now. Ordinarily I would be frustrated and upset. But as I sit here comfortable in a seat with my laptop plugged into one of multiple outlets I have my ipod playing with the album from Hope for Haiti Now. The music is beautiful and the message is extraordinary. I am well fed, well rested and healthy. There are relatively clean restrooms in this airport and free wifi. I am safe. The weather is good.
So, my perspective is very different than when I have waited endlessly for delayed or cancelled flights in the past. It really is not that important. I am blessed.
But when months go by like they did with Katrina and I revert to getting upset about meaningless things, I know that my perspective will revert back again.
