This morning I was texting with a friend while I was at the car dealership waiting to get a new battery installed. The receptionist gave me a coffee to sit with while I was waiting, and it was a rather pleasant experience, although I did have to wait for an hour and a half.
Instead of being upset with the wait, I was grateful for the coffee, grateful for a friend to chat with, grateful that I have a Mercedes and grateful for the newest iPhone to be texting on.
There are things to be grateful for in every day, and those were some of mine today. I jokingly told my friend, it’s Germany, everybody has a Mercedes. Still, it feels like something that a younger me would never have imagined having. Much less all paid off.
What do you have in your life to be grateful for? Make sure you aren’t taking it for granted!
Even in times when it seems like things aren’t going right, there are still aspects of our lives that are good, and still things that we can be happy about.
If you have access to the internet to be reading this, and a phone or computer, you are doing really well compared to some people in the world. Plus, being able to read is a gift too, since it shows you have had an education. Not everyone has that, and it is such a huge blessing.
What else can you be grateful for today? Let me know in the comments!
