I'm both under and overwhelmed with different things happening in and around me. The past few months have been gritty- I've been bored, cynical, riding one mundane moment to the next. But Spring is here- the growing season. I was inspired by the book One Thousand Gifts to live a full life by being thankful. Thankfulness brings joy- and joy, perspective. I've started my own list and was surprised to find it's ever growing, never ending.
"When we lay the soil of our hard lives open to the rain of grace and let joy penetrate our cracked and dry places, let joy soak into our broken skin and deep crevices, life grows."
Nothing around me has changed except my perspective, which ironically changes everything. I won't always, but today- I choose joy.
