Content, I want so badly to be content. I want to enjoy each day, live each day to the fullest, focus on who I am with each moment and not be thinking about what's happening in the next. Some days this is easy, some days I forget that I'm single, some days I'm so completely aware of all that I'm blessed with that I can't imagine needing another thing! But other days..... I let myself dwell on what I don't have, I let self pity take over, I let myself believe that I deserve more. When these "other" days become the majority it takes a lot to pull me out. I don't want to hear truth, I would just rather feel sorry for myself and for that matter I would like everyone to feel sorry for me! I've decided I need to be more proactive in my quest for contentment. I need to stop expecting it to fall over me like fairy dust - I need to work for it! My first step: get back to counting my blessings. God has faithfully provided for me and faithfully walked with me every day of my life! If I spend more energy thanking Him I can't imagine there will be much energy left for complaining!
I'm sharing this with you because I need accountability, complaining is easy, gratitude is hard. Encourage me to be grateful!!
So here's to day one of step one:
1. I'm thankful for this beautiful gift of Fall in July!
2. I'm thankful for friends to do life with, so thankful that I'm not figuring this out on my own!
3. I'm thankful for my job and that I have community at the office.
