Today has been a frustrating day. My hubs was having computer issues, so he had to steal my laptop in order to work. This meant the thousand things I needed to finish on my own to-do list weren’t going to happen. For a while, I cleaned my house till I finally got the idea to crash my mother’s house and use her computer. I realize now as I cross items off my to-do list that our situations are all about perspective. I could have moped all day, irritated to not have my computer, or I could look at the bright side. So, here’s what I’m thankful for in the midst of my frustration:
- First world problems: I have a computer, a house, electricity, food, health, safety.
- My mother: She welcomes me into her home whenever I want. Not only that but she entertains my children while I work.
- My mother’s home: It’s just around the corner, a mere 1 minute drive or a 10 minute walk.
- I’m able to worry about things like crossing off items on my to-do list rather than where I’m going to find my next meal.
- My house is clean; my laundry is folded: I couldn’t get my computer work done, so I found other things to do.
Tell me, what are you thankful for today? Is there a frustration in your life that you can look at through new eyes and with new perspective?
