I’ve been trying to think of some thing, word, thought, any thing to be thankful for. Sometimes it’s the little things that come across your path and you say, "OH! Thanks! That was just in time." I try to keep from grumbling about inconveniences (I can never spell that word correctly!) by reminding myself how different things could be.
I could grumble about going to work everyday – then I remember friends who are losing their home because the bread-winner can't find a job. I could complain about the bus being late – then I remember how much gas is and how much money I’m saving. I could complain that my air conditioning in my home doesn’t work 100% of the time, but then again, I have a home, with shade, and some a/c and heat in the winter. I complain – actually fuss a LOT – when my dog takes food off the counter – but I have food on the counter.
When I turn my so-called (thankful for spell-check) inconveniences into sought-for blessings, life’s really not all that bad.
Have a great weekend. If you care to leave any comments about what you’re thankful for. J
