I'm very lucky. I'm in a wonderful place in my life. I no longer really "want" for anything these days. I have the love of others; I have encouragement for the things I do or want to do; and while money doesnt' grow on the tree out back, there always seems to be "just enough" to get us by. I'm also in good health (other than the usual aches and pains of aging and my bum foot) and able to do so much more than others I know.
But some days I forget. Or just plain don't "feel lucky". Everyone has days like that. We're human and life happens. And on those days, when life just doesn't feel right, I say to myself "Just gotta have faith". I just gotta have faith that others will know to do the right thing. I just gotta have faith that he will feel better soon. I just gotta have faith that all will go smooth and work out as planned.
the best laid plans wreck and lead us to that higher ground where we "need" to be! spirit will take care of it all if you pay attention and get out of your own way! you are a remarkable woman and you are capable of ANYTHING! you just gotta BELIEVE IT & BE IT!
ReplyDeleteI have those "Just gotta have faith" days often. I totally know what you mean. It's like being on the verge of going down the path of discouragement verses realizing all your blessings... and you know you gotta choose the gratitude side, but sometimes you wanna have just a small little pity party. At least that's how it can sometimes be for me.
ReplyDeleteBut pity parties never do me any good. And things could always be worse... and things are actually quite great! So we just gotta have FAITH!!!
Sorry... just rambled on didn't I?
Take care, my friend!

It sounds like you've got the right mindset. Focusing on what you've been blessed with combined with having faith that things will all work out is bound to be reassuring on difficult days.
