I don’t like being that person. The one who constantly complains. Who focuses on the negative.
I can tell when it happens. I can see my friends eyes glaze over. I can feel myself getting…well, sick of myself.
So I figure I’ll pull out the Thanksgiving season cliche of “things I’m thankful for.” Because sometimes, I think I need to be less “woe is me” and more “grateful am I.”
Today, I am thankful for creation.
I am thankful for a sky bathed in pink when I get up in the morning.
I am thankful for the crunch of leaves.
The sound of silence during a snow fall.
The sillhouette of black mountains on purple sky.
Thunderclouds heavy with unspilled rain.
Sunshine on my skin.
The smell of cold.
The touch of a warm breeze.
Glory.
Creation.
Beautiful picture…the written and the visual. And I don’t think you’re one of “those people.”
