– Mary Oliver
I’ve been in a cranky mood for the past couple of days, even though I know that the stuff I’m allowing to steal my joy is totally not worth it. Sure, business could be a lot better, my house could be a lot cleaner, and my pants could be a lot less tight, but these are not really problems. When I stop and force myself to let go of thinking about what I wish was true and what I wish I had, and instead, I focus on all that I’ve got and all that is wonderful in my world right this minute, I realize that I always have plenty of reasons to shine with gratitude and joy.
