Thankful Thursday – Contradictions

Living life with a sense of gratitude is not something that happens automatically for most of us. We have to be intentional about it. The picture above happened after a long, bumpy ride to the top of a mountain. Two minutes into the ride, I regretted going along. It seemed my beat-up body was feeling each rock, tree stump and dip in the mountain ‘road’.

But at the top I took this picture which I love … and I use in my presentations now.

Pause and look around your day. You have things to be grateful for … and somethings are influenced by another.

Today I am thankful for …

Bumpy rides  …  great pictures

Hot weather  …  air-conditioning

Tough workouts  …  friends with swimming pools

Working-out days  …  rest days

A car  …  running shoes and a bike

All three boys home for two weeks  …  money to buy food

Fresh strawberries  …  chocolate

Challenges …  learn and grow
