Today all I have can say…well all I have to write is that I am thankful for the weekend that I had. Though it always passes too quickly for me, I am grateful for the time I had to get some things done and not having to get up for work a couple days. It is easy to spend my time wishing I had more days off work but I could relieve myself of that torment if I spent time imagining what my life would be if I had to work every single day. There was a woman this past weekend in the Saturday class I facilitate mention that the only day she gets to sleep late is New Years Day! She ONLY gets to sleep late every New Year's Day? So, she has to wait a complete year to have that option…every year? I found myself having that very conversation in my head as she talked and it turned into, “Thank you God for my weekends!” No matter how quickly they pass, I AM GRATEFUL they roll around MORE THAN ONCE a year. Lord, I thank you!
We all hope to learn from our own experiences but there are those times when we also glean from others. These lessons offer great opportunities for stimulating our minds or emotions to a higher level: inspiration. Life itself is full of inspiration, whether it's from witnessing the simplicity or complexity in nature or finding valuable lessons in the things we encounter on a daily basis. Ultimately the hope is that inspiration evokes positive change in our lives on a daily basis.
