There are nuggets of advice circulating among us that make a meaningful difference in our lives despite their simplicity. Yet in the bustle of daily life they can be inadvertently set aside. Reunited with one of these nuggets, we pick it up, turn it in our hands, and carry it around in our pocket for the day, wondering why we ever set it down.
Here’s one that can be especially helpful as we enjoy the holidays – a time when we are tempted to describe all that we have to do and the angst that tags along with it. Switch “have” to “get” and now you have a celebration.
I get to cook for my family – I am thankful they are well and with us.
I get to clean my house – I am thankful to have a home.
(and the health to take care of it)
I get to go to work – I am thankful to be able to support my family.
Go on, put it in your pocket and see how your day changes.
