There are certain times where I recall how extremely lucky I am. Yesterday, I found out that my left earbud of my Sennheiser CX300 that I leave at work doesn't not work anymore; it must have a bad connection somewhere in the wire (probably at the division of the asymmetric, so one the right side can go behind the neck). I'm not sure how long the left side has stopped functioning because at work I only use the right earbud. I can't believe how fortunate I was that it was the left earbud and not the right.
This situation has reminded me how life seems to work out so well sometimes; many times you don't even recognize how extraordinary it can be. It can be the most simple of things but it is simply amazing.
