Thankful Thursday – Post 25
An attitude of gratitude needs space.
.
The trees in this picture are more dramatic due to the empty space in front of them. Whether the green grass was filled with flowers or junk, it would take away from appreciating the trees. So in our lives we need to allow space to appreciate things … too much clutter obscures our view.
Which means sometimes we have to say no, not only to ‘junk’ that fills our time, but even good things that can fill our time and make us so busy we can’t even pause and be thank you.
This week I am thankful for:
Our oldest son Joshua graduating from college
Beautiful trees in my neighborhood
A sweet run with Dean Karnazes
Doing a 20-mile bike ride
Joshua moving home
Beautiful weather
Good coffee
Friends
.
Today … not someday, give yourself space to pause by learning the value of saying no … and you’ll find more things to be thankful for!
What are you thankful for today?
