Next, we had ants show up in our dishwasher, in the garage and a few other places inside. And, when one of my grandsons and I were playing outside, he picked up a rock and there were hundreds coming out. Yuck!
Then the caulking on the kitchen sink came out and we have holes around the sides, and our land lines don’t have a dial tone. And, I’ve been on the phone with them a few too many times.
It’s so easy to focus on the problems that happen.
But in reality, I had a lot more hours of joy, fun and good things happen. I just forgot to give my gratitude and focus on those things, like having lunch with friends, receiving nice words from some of you, my followers, and being able to hire people to fix these inconveniences. The list goes on and on - wonderful, helpful husband; great health; sent my blog to Sixty and Me; and almost have my new ebook done - Ideas to Thrive in Retirement.
Instead of being grateful and focusing on the glass half full, I let myself think more about the problems than the gifts in my life.
And, I know better.
Life gives you what you think about. My week was a great example of that.
What have you been thinking about?
