The news this morning was all over the heavy snowfall and somehow managed to talk about it for an hour at least. They did interview a man who is my new hero however.
He was a handsome black man who was wearing a comfortable coat and a happy grin and he was standing in his black Mercedes with the top down. Snow was falling in large flakes around him. The reporter thought he was nuts for driving around like that in this weather and wondered if he cared about damaging the leather interior of his car.
Still smiling broadly, he said that he loved New York and he loved winter before laughing about how terrible the driving was. Then he glanced around his car, saying that you only live once and that he could always get the leather cleaned.
If we approached every day like he did, we’d all be doing just fine.
It’s the experiences that matter, not the pristine condition of your things. Love the little joys life gives you and you’ll never be short of happiness.
