Gratitude...Beyond Grateful
I won’t lie. I was annoyed. I was venting. I was mad. It was a lot on me. A lot. I knew and know that you can’t expect people to do good for you and you get in back in other ways. Yet I was still so annoyed with this one person.
Then it hit me. It’s like a sense of peace came over me from no where. Gratitude . For everything. People all around me were helping me and making life easier for me and instead of appreciating it I was mad at the one person who wasn’t and who never ever really did to be honest. Yet I gave my focus to that one person instead of all the rest who have.
You have to stop yourself when this happens. When that one person doesn’t do justice for you or love you how you need to be loved or treat you with respect. Let that go. All of it. Because if you pay attention you’ll
notice all the other people who do and that is where your gratitude comes from. You give thanks for those people and don’t take them for granted. You shift your focus. Trust me. It makes life so much more enjoyable.
Meanwhile all these people did everything to make me happy and I was busy angry. I stopped myself and said Jay look at the whole picture. Look at everyone making you happy. Look at all you have and the joy and be grateful. So I did and everything since that day I shifted my energy and focus. I gave thanks and felt grateful.
Feeling Fallish at Trader Joe’s
I love it here. I especially love it when they have seasonal treats. Pumpkins for $3.99. Fun fall food. It’s a perfect way to let go of Summer and welcome Fall! 🍁
