Ay, someone please give me a good shove into the other line! The one with the fast pass to peace.
I love it when I stumble on a picture that speaks volumes, and this one’s a gem. The Complaints window has a line out the door, while the Gratitude window? Not a soul in sight. Wow. If that doesn’t hit close to home.
I find myself stuck in that complaint line more than I care to admit. Ugh, so crowded! Looping through the same worries and frustrations.
Thing is, I know how gratitude works. I know it doesn’t fix everything, but it definitely makes things feel a little lighter and more manageable. And it’s not that I forget that. I don’t. It’s just that sometimes I get distracted by the noise of what’s irritating me.
You know, they say the hard stuff tends to shout, while the good stuff whispers. I just need to listen better.
So if you happen to find yourself stuck in that long line of complaints today, hit pause. Take a breath. And hop over to the other line. There’s no waiting and no ticket needed. Just a shift in heart. And please, if you see me there, take me with you.
What are you thankful for today?
Until next Thursday’s post…si Dios quiere.
“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”
-W.A. Ward
“We can choose to be grateful, no matter what.”
-D.F. Uchtdorf
Amen! In complete agreement, Connie. Thank you for the reminder.
