This is not the first MMM with this title!
Have you ever thought about the relationship between gratitude and perspective?
Often when I am grumpy or down, the best medicine for me is perspective. Are
the issues going on in my life, at that moment, really all that bad? I need to
stop, look around, and remind myself of all I have to be grateful for. There is
suffering, children that need a safe place, veterans that need medical/emotional
care, and people without food or shelter. Most of those things I don’t have to
worry about! Gratitude…
Often, we get so caught up in our own
drama that we forget how good life is, or can be. Perhaps the next time you feel
frustrated, annoyed, or even self-loathing consider one or two things you are
grateful for in your life. It is amazing how that puts things into perspective
for you.
