….. Oftentimes, when things are not going right, the last thing on my mind is to be thankful …I’m sure you all can relate…However, the good book advice otherwise,…. it says “ In ALL things give thanks” …..
As we all know, life is full of ups and downs and we have different coping mechanisms…. ..When I feel overwhelmed with stuff going on around, I just go quiet , sometimes close my eyes and go to one of the “happy places” in my head…*don’t look at me like I’m weird....I know you do it too…LOL. ..And you know what?……Most times, I feel calm…Then I’m able to think happy thoughts…..I think about all things that are going right… about little things that don’t make the “headlines”.
I want to use this opportunity to express my gratitude for :
- Waking up this morning, feeling rested for the first time in a long while…
- Getting a text from an old friend….who was just saying hello..
- The new recipe I tried that turned out well the 1st time…yummy!
- Making it to church early…(I figure if I can make to work early, why not to church)
- When I got the top I have being eyeing at Macy’s for 50% less than the original price..yay!
- When the discrepancies on my credit card account was resolved by my bank…(someone or some people have been using my credit card to make online purchases, imagine?!)
- The price of gas that is still below $3/gallon..It was $2.50/gallon today…yay!
- Being able to do long walks ..(been trying to get an exercise routine going for a while)
- Being able to do the “5 servings of fruits and vegetables”…(didn’t get it right the first many times)
- Finding a parking spot close to the entrance of the store…(It was pouring and i didn’t have an umbrella,you see)
- Getting a hairstyle that fits my face…ladies, sure you can relate..
- …And for you dear friend reading this blog…:)
