I woke up this morning and looked at my blackberry, and something seemed wrong… no flashing led, no email icon.  It wasn’t that I was expecting deluges of interesting and important mail, but usually I have to start the day by deleting the few spam mails that crawl through my filters.  The interesting thing was my reaction; my first thought was my blackberry must be faulty.  I even resorted to sending a test mail.  It was thus I realised that these annoying spams did serve one useful purpose, they do prove daily that my connections are working.

It is interesting how, if we change how we look at things, rather than just trying to change the things we look at we can find all sorts of value.  Take a fresh look around you and see if you can’t find some value in apparent  ‘rubbish’….  You might also enjoy this story of the Fields of Diamonds.
