Living Life
with an
Attitude of Gratitude
Not too long ago I was accused of being a "Pollyanna" ... I was told that I look at the world through rose colored glasses. According to this person, that is the only way to live a life focused on the positive.
I feel sad for that person. They are missing out on so much. Trust me when I tell you, I see and am fully aware of the horrible crap that exists in our world. And those that know me well will tell you that I am a cynic.
I am. And it is because I know this about myself that I make a conscious effort to see the positive in any given situation. I am not always successful. That's reality.
Focusing on the positive helps me find the things for which I am grateful.
Today I am grateful for:
Jack the Contractor -- (1) he believes he has found the last source of leak in the chimney (2) he has repaired the wall in the bedroom and best of all the bedroom is painted.... more on that another time.
Hanley -- who took down all the closet racks so I could paint the master closet...and then told me what a good job I did!
The Floor Dudes -- who are going to put in a new hardwood floor in the master bedroom. (Even though they are not here yet).
Quick delivery -- of gridwall hooks (yes I needed more!)
Coffee -- always coffee.
