I read some where that a study was done where a group would find five things a day to be grateful for over some period of time and would be compared to a control group. The people finding things to be grateful for proved to be healthier then the ones who persisted in their curmudgeonly ways. I thought I'd give it a try today.
First I'm grateful that when they built this
boat they didn't provide a 12v bus at the stern or create a nice convenient wire run since if they did I wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand on my
head hanging through the
hatch to the
motor compartment trying to push wires through to the next
hatch. This is an experience that no fifty something man should go through life without experiencing. I'm also grateful that I bought a several five dollar
fishing rods so that I was able to use the tip of one to push the wire through an otherwise intractible stretch. Had I been forced to use my hundred dollar rod I'm quite sure it would have broken but there would be no concievable reason for a five dollar one to break would there? I'm also grateful that the
paint that had been used on the
battery box was of a type that would come off on my hand but then not wash off. It gave me a few moments entertainment wondering how that was possible. On a similiar note I had to ponder how a person could get so much grease on them running wire? Lastly I'm grateful that there was
beer in the cupboard and a hockey
game on the
radio afterwards. Maybe even more then one beer! That may or may not be five things but I've got to tell you I think it works. I'm feeling a whole lot better already!
Cheers.
