"I knew a man in college who grew up in the inner city of Chicago & what he was doing in Iowa I never did figure out. But whenever he would see a jet trailing across the sky, he would stop everything he was doing and he would watch. Once, after a jet was gone and there was nothing left but the white line disappearing like a scar into the blue, he turned to me and said, An airplane is a miracle and I didn't give it much thought, but now and then, when I am ready to give up hope for human beings in general, and for one or two of them who are bugging me specifically, I will look to the sky and there will be one of those miracles and I will remember it's all about concentrating on the right thing."

This page in the book helped me a lot today considering the the levels of stress, bad hormones, and annoyance I am experiencing. Sometimes, we just need to look for the right things and ignore the rest in order to make it through the day.
