Time out. I’m taking a step back tonight to center. This is a brief post. An attempt to embrace peace in chaos. I have found myself in a hectic moment. The details are unimportant, but I’m inspired to believe that gratitude is in order.
I remind myself that the challenges of my day are ones that many would wish to have, and so I must be grateful. Because first and foremost, I must see these challenges as an opportunity to be more and live more and grow more than I did yesterday or the day before.
Just maybe the situations from which I have the most trouble teasing out a silver lining are the ones in most need of the work. The ones most worthy of gratitude. Just maybe I can be grateful for the worst things in my life and the most aggravating people because they’re here to send me a message.
And whether that message is from God, the Universe, or some other entity, it’s my choice to learn the message or turn away.
I’ve heard more than once that fear disappears when focused on gratitude. Perhaps the chaos and feelings of overwhelm disappear, too. Indeed, a leap of faith is in order. And I am grateful for the breeze.
