Strange Reminders

I went for a walk this morning and got a rock in my shoe. Every time I took a step the rock poked into the bottom of my foot and really hurt. And I was so thankful for that. Whenever this happens, I am reminded that I am so fortunate to be able to feel that rock. I still check my feet and do a “swipe” to remove anything that might be on them before donning socks and sneakers. But feeling a rock, despite having to deal with some discomfort and having to take the time to remove the rock, makes me very grateful.

What strange little reminders do you have of the good things in your life?
