A Matter Of Assessing

Observed: Two people at a city park…in relative obscurity… One man frowning, pacing to and fro… the other sat smiling in the shade of an old oak tree. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining. There's was breeze blowing in from the sea… But look how different the two appeared… What could cause such a discrepancy? Wanting to know the reason I set aside my book and maneuvered into position to have a closer look. The answer was quite simple It seems both men were assessing… One was adding up all his troubles… while the other…counted blessings.
