I woke up today feeling rather good. I did not feel like a zombie. I was not falling asleep in the shower. I had gotten a lot of sleep the night before. I feel sort of good today. I find myself being thankful every time I decide to get a good long night’s sleep.
Sleep is something we have a free unlimited supply of. Even with this abundant supply, I under-sleep. I too often choose not to sleep. This never serves me well. Every time I make the smart decision and get good sleep I am thankful I did. I just feel so much better when I make this smart choice.
I think we can be grateful for all the smart choices we make along the journey of life. We can be grateful that there was something inside of us keeping us on the right path. There is gratitude to be found in many things. We can find it in God’s gifts, our possessions, in our friends, and in the choices we have made. For me gratefulness is a lens through which to view things. I think the trick is to make it a more present lens.
