I'm not positive if a communion is something you say congrats about, but it feels like it is... So, congrats to your son on his spiritual commitment! It sounds like it brought a lot of tasks that needed done to the forefront and lots of joy to those around, love that! 💚

Life has been throwing me a lot of curveballs the last few years and recently I had to make several of the hardest choices I think I've ever made. It left me grumpy; feeling as if the world somehow owed me more. Aren't I good? Don't I try so hard to do the right things? Surely I'm owed more. PSH. This type of thinking is a trap, one that pulls you in deeper the more you let it... and so I switch my brain waves to gratitude.

I have the ability to make a cup of coffee anytime I want. I'm warm and have enough clothes to not need to do wash every week if I don't want to. I have two wonderful children who provide me with endless surprises and wonder. I have an oven to bake bread and can afford the mostly veggie diet that I prefer. I live in a functional society where we enjoy peace and quiet. I have the love of an incredible man.

When I look at all that, what else more do I feel I'm owed? Well, a thing or two I'm focused on gaining on my own two feet, but there is nothing else I could ask the universe or God for than a chance to pursue those things. It's the small stuff for sure, being grateful for all the things we do have. I think it becomes a tonic for the soul if we let it.

I appreciated that you thought to tag me here, it was a wonderful read! Where you live is gorgeous, what a stunning land to enjoy a cup of tea with bare feet in the grass! Cheers to you 😄
