We all share in life's little difficulties. We see things not as they but as we imagine that they should be and then are upset when they do not turn out this way. But why? Why do we constantly lull ourselves into this trap of discontent. For a particular example we know that people all do things differently; we know that the likelihood of someone seeing the world in our particular way is rare, if not impossible, and yet we do this almost every day. This sort of "see things my way, or die" attitude that gets people in very precarious situations.
I have written before but it still holds true now that gratitude is a difficult thing. It is not easy to remove all the noise that we create around us and in our own heads enough to appreciate anything, large or small. It is a daily feat that we would do well to embrace more; to get out of the imaginary world of everything should be prefect and understand that maybe most things are not but there is some beauty in that too.
All that said this morning I am grateful for bright green spring time trees, overcast skies that make the spring colors more vibrant and my first cup of coffee this week.
And for Jane in a swing.
