I'm having one of those days where I would rather complain than be thankful. It comes easily enough. A bad attitude oozes into life and sours everything. This morning I couldn't find socks. I am wearing black yoga pants (because Yoga is my life) and all I could find were brown dress socks. Granted I probably will not see a living soul besides my family today, but I wanted some sporty white socks. I rustled through the inner berth of my messy and disorganized dresser and I finally found a white pair of socks and donned them. I came downstairs to pack a lunch for my hubby and Emma as they trucked off to PDX with the semi truck. I also needed to feed Mandy breakfast, not mention myself. As I bumbled around the kitchen, I found water on the floor with my last and only clean pair of white socks. I almost swore as the cold water soaked through the cotton, I was so mad. I hate wet socks.
It's taken a bit of time for my attitude change. I let the scripture I have posted above the sink soak in to my weary soul. And then reading horrible news reports about civil wars around the world and then a blog about a man losing his wife to breast cancer made me realize how silly my wet socks issue is. In honor of my life's little problems, I am going to write 5 things I am extremely grateful for today:
1) Peace in my home
2) The ability to do laundry and wash and dry more socks if I was so inclined
3) Mandy's infectious grin
4) The fact that Emma gets to be with her hard working daddy today
5) My wood stove on a cold and dreary day
Feeling better already...
