There's Always Something Positive To Focus On

In December of 2016 I was stopped, blinker on and ready to turn into my driveway when all the sudden I heard a loud crash. I looked up into the rearview mirror just in time to realize what was happening. Thankfully I wasn't hit from behind. Unfortunately the other 4 cars behind me were. Once traffic cleared so that I could pull into my driveway I parked and got out of my vehicle to check on everyone to make sure no one was hurt and to see if anyone needed a phone. The person at the tail end of this unfortunate situation was extremely upset, while everyone else was doing alright considering. I decided to stay and talk to the woman that was upset trying to keep her calm. She was so shaken up that I had to call her husband for her. She was shaking really bad and couldn't hold her phone in her hand. She was upset saying "this is all I need with Christmas being here." I told her "it will be alright. Just think of the good in this. No one got hurt. And you have insurance right?" She said "Yes, I have insurance." Then she proceeded to tell me more good stuff like "and no kids were with me." She made a long list of good, positive things. I stayed until her husband arrived but before I left her I told her "I am glad no one got hurt and I am glad that I could be here for you. Keep focusing on the good and work through the rest."

Let this be a reminder that there is always something positive to focus on.
