This last week or so has messed me up, inside (full of turmoil that I can't explain). Some days I wonder how I got this far in life. I have made some huge blunders; spoken when I should have listened, acted when I should have observed, stayed put when I should have ran away.
I wonder why can't I just put my head down, do my work, collect my pay, and go home? Is it human nature or just "my" nature to never be satisfied? always "putting my oar in". Will I ever <...learn to be content whatever the circumstances> (Php 4:11)?
Have a look at "United Here". I was just re-reading some of her posts. What stood out was the 'gratitude to 1000'. I was blessed. Thanks Carin.
I'm thinking it would be a powerful exercise to keep a Gratitude journal. I might just be able to come up with one thing every day. Today I would start with Duane & Carin, what an inspiration, thanks, keep it up!
I have an awesome partner, who is there for me, even when my mind is somewhere else, Thanks, Edie;
...I guess I have two things to put in my gratitude journal today.
I would encourage those who read my blog to comment, I do enjoy the feedback.
Time, gentlemen, please!
Well I think we have all felt lost and shamed at some point and I believe it's what we do after that introspection that counts. In particular how we treat our friends, family and those we interact with daily. As for Carin's "One Thousand Gifts" of gratitude, I agree we can all benefit from taking the time to write a gratitude journal even for a week.
