Gratitude is the intention to count your blessings every day, every minute, while avoiding, whenever possible, the belief that you need or deserve different circumstances. – Timothy Miller
Trying to deal with my long-denied anger is a pain. But I can also be grateful for life’s whack on the side of the head that’s giving me a chance to do this because I can see how it can help me. AFOG again.
Miller’s quote is from his book I’m reading, How to Have What You Want. He’s got a little two-week ‘daily gratitude’ plan that I’m thinking of trying… any day now! Maybe it’ll be a good way to start the New Year.
I’m interested in this, but not because I’m an ingrate and need to work on improving myself. I’ve just had a taste here and there of how much more satisfying a day can be when I discover new things to be grateful for.
Today, I’m grateful for this terrific winter we’re having. Another 10 inches of fluffy snow fell yesterday. There’s now a good two feet on the ground, enough to haul out the snowshoes. Yeah.
