It has always sounded shallow to me, like kissing a rabbit's foot for good luck.
Being positive for me means being grateful.
Thanks for everything ! Bible verses memorized as a child remind me to thank God in all situations, the good and the bad.
Washing dishes I felt impatient to continue my slipcover sewing project. I thought about how to be thankful while doing this necessary chore . . .
TONS of thoughts came to my mind !
soap
warmth
fresh scent
dishes, beautiful dishes
health
disinfectant
shelter
food
freedom
time
energy
clarity
just to name a few . . . .
I thought about what being thankful does for my ATTITUDE . . .
I am positive and encouraged knowing that I am surrendered to the Divine Plan for my life and that everything that happens works for my good.
I understand that some things working in me are spiritual changes, invisible changes . . .
So, thanks for everything, God !!!
