The past 36 hours have been rough. I'm not going to lie. I've been cranky and crabby. I left my "zen" attitude somewhere and had a hard time finding where I left it.
People have been making me angry.
Do you find yourself in a similar situation?
Everything is trucking right along, you feel the wind might be in your sail, the road smoothed out in front of you, and then BAM! Pothole. Turbulent seas.
In these moments it is SO easy to let Satan win. To forget about all of the good in the world around you. To forget that you have the ultimate champion in your corner.
It is my experience, that when stuff isn't going my way, that when that bad day comes (as it always does), I forget how richly God has blessed me. I'm not even talking materialistic goods. I'm talking about appreciating the fact I woke up this morning. I'm standing on the right side of the grass. I'm blessed with two beautiful, though trying at time, girls who have amazing hearts. I'm part of a wonderfully supportive and connected family. God has blessed my grandparents with longevity which in turns blesses me and and my girls with a plethora of grandparents that are still physically present on this earth. And God blessed me with a husband who is an amazing provider, a man who gets me (most of the time), who pushes my buttons because he can.
When you look at all of that, it makes the trucker who stopped in the middle of the road and didn't use a turn signal insignificant..
And maybe that is the point of this post.
Sometimes you just need to write out all the things you can be thankful for so you can see in black and white that it isn't as bad of a day as it seems.
Keep on keeping on.
