Confession:
For reasons I don't entirely comprehend, I'm struggling with my gratitude lists right now. Maybe it's some of the swampiness I'm wading through right now, though I truly believe I'm getting some of that figured out. Maybe I'm judging my own gratefulness, feeling a little like it's all too mundane, too simple. Maybe there's a bit of an emotional tectonic shift taking place and I'm having to reassess what the important stuff to be grateful for is. Maybe it's all of the above.
On that mildly frustrated note, happiness/ gratitude list, 20 April 2009:
- Red Butte Gardens season tickets are in hand. Many good evenings of music to come....
- More sunshine time today- it was, yet again, beautiful beyond what we deserve.
- Being both brave and humble enough to reach out to someone whom I need in my life. Really, it was a small thing but it felt good and right.
- I really am getting a better handle on what causes me to get stuck in the swamp, and I really am getting unstuck. To borrow a favorite description, I'm seeing the twinkle lights in the big mossy oaks.
