Maintaining that gratitude attitude - Day 21
It’s so helpful to keep reminding myself about all of the good when I feel like I’m drowning in the not manageable.
Some good things:
-
Our sweet little house and the cozy beds we nestle into at night under layers of flannel, down and wool.
Soup.
Patience.
Mom and Steve in for the week. The kids are so happy to have their attention, and I’m so grateful to have walked in the house last night to a hot meal!
Antibiotics. I really needed the help.
The first coating of ice on the ponds in the area.
"In summer we live out of doors, and have only impulses and feelings, which are all for action, and must wait commonly for the stillness and longer nights of autumn and winter before any thought will subside; we are sensible that behind the rustling leaves, and the stacks of grain, and the bare clusters of the grape, there is the field of a wholly new life, which no man has lived; that even this earth was made for more mysterious and nobler inhabitants than men and women. In the hues of October sunsets, we see the portals to other mansions than those which we occupy."
~Henry David Thoreau
