Silver Lining

Sometimes my bad habits work for good instead of evil.

Today, I intended to go running, taking advantage of a rare sunny day with unseasonably warm temperatures. Late in the afternoon, I put on workout clothes, but instead of getting up and leaving the house immediately, I sat down on the couch to watch the end of one of A&E's interminable design shows. The next thing you knew, 20 minutes had gone by and I was still sitting on the couch when the skies opened up and rain came poring down in great gushing streams. Had I left the house as planned, I would have been 20 minutes into the run-- close to the furthest point, distancewise, and facing a long, wet, and cold journey home.
