This world gets crazy and with all the chaos it is easy to lose sight of all the good that exists in it. It’s easy to focus our attention on what is wrong, look for others to blame, and stew in our own discontent. And over time it gets easier and easier to feel helpless… and then hopeless.
But even with all the shit going on, all the chaos and catastrophe swirling around, there is good happening, there is love and kindness. But if we don’t look for it we might miss it.
It is important that we fill ourselves up each day by remembering what is good in our lives. Because we can’t fight against the evils of the world when we’re empty. We can’t fix big problems without a positive vision for what could be, for what might be possible.
Start your day with a little gratitude for what you have. Fill yourself up and up and up until you feel like you might burst! Then go slay those dragons!
In the spirit of this post, here is my morning list of good shit, bedhead and all!
1. My children, healthy, happy and kind little souls.
2. My husband, I couldn’t ask for a better partner in this life.
3. Coffee. Enough said.
4. Our home.
5. Food in all its glorious forms.
6. I have a healthy body that allows me to explore this amazing planet.
7. This planet. Isn’t it amazing!?!
8. My loving and supportive parents and stepparents.
9. Friends that make me laugh, lift me up and are just genuinely the best people.
10. Chocolate. Pretty self-explanatory.
