My morning walk was relaxing and peaceful. The sun was shining. The birds were singing. Only pleasant thoughts crowded my mind until…I started work. I was doing so well with seeking the good, and then the demands of the day bombarded me all at once. I am grateful to have a job during this trying time, truly I am, but some days are just too much to handle. Some days, it takes a concerted effort to find the good, but I do know there is good in every day if I just look.
OK. Deep breath…what am I grateful for today?
First and foremost I am glad God is always with me, even though it does not seem that way at times. When the days get overwhelming and at times suffocating, it becomes difficult to hear Him through all the clutter. God always knows when we need Him, we just need to listen and open our eyes and hearts. He shows us He’s with us through the beautiful sunbeams peeking through billowy clouds and the sounds of kind words wafting through the breeze.
Anything else you care to share, Maria?
It’s Friday, baby! Yayh! 🙂 It has been a long week, but I survived. I am looking forward to a couple days off before the work begins again on Monday. My plan is to minimize more of my belongings, and tidy up a bit, but if my mind, body and soul decide this weekend is as good as any to just do nothing except take care of me, then I will gladly oblige.
How was your first day of May? What good did you seek and find?
Ciao for now.
