i tend to complain a lot. i get frustrated with people. i vent about dumb things. i say things i shouldn’t about people i love. all of that is so ugly and i hate what it does to my spirit.
so i’m trying to find joy and beauty in little things. trying to be thankful for each moment. learning that lessons can be found if you look for it. you have to make a conscious effort to make yourself more aware.
on saturday i saw some kids selling lemonade on a street corner. they frantically waved their sign to every person that stopped at the stop sign. i had $1, so i gave it to them and you would have thought i gave them a winning lottery ticket. and it made me wonder – when did my saturdays go from being filled with the stress of running a lemonade stand to the stress of everything else in life??
i wonder if that was God telling me to slow down and enjoy the simple things?

Very, very good and thought provoking. What perspective or mind set puts us on life’s treadmill? D.B.
