I'm slipping in my gratitudes a minute into the next day. I'm worn out. My baseball team lost tonight and I'm rising early tomorrow. Other than that, I'm
doing well.
Gratitudes for Wednesday:
1. I faced my fears and did something I didn't want to do. The task was easier than imagined, but not pleasant, comparable to cleaning out a cat litter box.
*****
Patient I was, tonight. Didn't want to be. Someone at a meeting, spoke way longer than allowed. I desperately wanted to cut him off, I was leading the group. I let him continue. In veiled language, he complained about how I treat him.That was fine. If I interrupted him, it would have contributed more to the difficulties we're having. I am with people all the time, it's the nature of my work. It's a given, feelings will be bruised on an occasion. I am glad I don't surrender to other people's interpretations of me. I'd be walking on eggshells all the time, if I did.
2. I'm glad I'm not externally referented.
3. I love resting in God, realizing much of my life is unmanageable. I know only His help can handle impossible circumstances. During such times, I see what I can do. That's much saner. The rest, I leave up to God. As a result the lines of stress, anxiety, anger and fear are not etched into my face.How About You?
What are your three gratitudes for today?
