Thankful Thursday
An Attitude of Gratitude has many Benefits.
I noticed that I am not upset that Christmas was less or different than it was because of expectations. It was what it was... both Wonderful and trying at times.
I like that.
You know life is both hard and extravagant.
I am really a glass half full kind of girl...but...
Get me to hungry, too angry...too lonely or too tired...
All that can change.
or at least the perspective can alter drastically!
That perspective can sure help resilience.
There are four awesome men in the other room studying to help them selfs to be better men, husbands and fathers. That is cool.
I spent a day with a wonderful friend, a woman who I am at ease with. We visited as in the days of old when women did the chores and visited and just really lived!
My Children are ready to go back to class tomorrow and see the friends that hey so love to socialize with. They both have amazing teachers. Great schools to attend and I have the privilege to be only minutes away if they need me and When they have the days end I get to see them again refreshed for the time together.
I have tasks to set my hands too, I have friendship to set my spirit too and interests to pursue with my mind. My health is good and I have legs to walk on that hold me up.
There are ingredients to make lunches with and eggs for Dash in the morning. Hair gel to spike his sweet head... Little Dove has a warm coat and pants too. My kitchen is not undone. I have menus to write and responsibilities to master. I am essential (as are you).
I am loved. As are you.
It is so good to know that God does love me that it is only unmerited favor that keeps me. It is only that yet that is all that is needed.
Because I set my love upon Him.
Keep interested in your own career however humble for it is a real treasure in the changing fortunes of time.:)
