Tuesday's Word--
My Monday word was gratitude. I kept it close all day. Here are some of my experiences with that lovely word.
Early in the day I was aware that I was enjoying the simplest things. It sounds absolutely crazy, but it is the truth. As I was doing laundry, I was grateful for a washer/dryer. When the clothes were dry, and I was folding, I was grateful for clean clothes. Don't laugh!!
It got worse!:) As I was cleaning floors, I was grateful that I have a home. Yes, I was grateful for the vaccuum that allows me to keep our home clean. Which means I am grateful for floors. I have been in homes with dirt as the floor. Having an actual floor is a blessing. That old vaccuum cleaner is a marvel.
Since I have to take a couple of medications, I was grateful for them this morning. They keep me well. While I wish they weren't so expensive, I am grateful that they exist.
Later in the morning I met with my Monday book study group. We have wonderful discussions. As I looked at each of the people in the group, I was grateful for their intellect, their acceptance, their humor. We have the gift of assembly in our country. We can meet and discuss anything without fear. Isn't that a wonderful freedom?
I had lunch with a friend. I am grateful for her in my life. She brings a new dimension to my life experience. And while we were chatting over quiche, a former pastor walked into the room. It was such joy to spend a few minutes in conversation with him. I was so grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with him for that few minutes.
When I arrived home mid-afternoon, my husband had soup and cornbread ready. Who wouldn't be grateful for such a treat on a cold afternoon? Following soup/cornbread, we watched our grandson play basketball. We sat with our son and his wife for the game. I was so grateful for family.
It was a day full of grateful moments.
My word for Tuesday is kindness. I am anxious to see the results at the end of the day. Did you select a word for the day? If you did, would you please share with me? I think this is going to be an amazing journey!
