It is always easy to recognize the things that you wish were different. There are regrets in the past and fears for the future. I doubt anyone has the perfect life.
The reason I first started blogging about “Good News” was to boost my mental health by focusing on at least one good thing that had happened. I started daily and eventually shifted to weekly posts.
I could list the things that come to mind that I am thankful for. That would be especially appropriate as this is the Canadian Thanksgiving.
Instead I will say that I am choosing to be thankful, not that I don’t have times when I feel discouraged, but looking at my real life beyond just the challenges of the moment. This is not just for one statutory holiday but as a life practice.
I do not want to give off the impression that this comes easy to me. It does not. It is something that I continue to return to for my own sake and for those around me.
