the Law of the Garbage Truck
A friend of mine shared this with me a couple of days ago and I sent it to a friend via youtube. Tamera suggested I share it with the rest of you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
Enjoy!!

The Law of the Garbage Truck
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for
the airport . We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black
car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver
slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling
at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he
was really friendly.
So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy
almost caused an accident and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my
taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."
He explained that many people are like garbage
trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of
anger, full of disappointment and rage. As their garbage piles up, they
need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take
it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't pick
up their garbage and spread it to other people in your life, whether at
work, at home, or to people that you don't even know on the streets.
Always remember that good people do not let
garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the
morning with regrets, so.....
"Love the people who treat you right and forgive
and pray for the ones who don't."
Enjoy!!

I love that...
my ex husband is definitely a 'garbage truck' but isn't ready to see it... he continues to try to dump his garbage (guilt, blame and anger at himself) onto me and the boys... sadly I can't help him until he's ready to 'see' and help himself...
The boys will love this analogy.... they're sleeping in this morning, but I'll tell them as soon as they wake up...
Thanks for posting it..
