I was reminded yesterday through a conversation I was having with someone how easy it is to focus on what is not going well.  The list of things that are not satisfying in our lives is often on the tip of our tongue.  Yet not even a few gulps of air after that is the same list of things we have to be grateful for.  That which I choose to focus on creates my reality.  I am not saying that I inauthentically ignore any dissatisfaction I have with life and pretend everything is fine.  However, it is more powerful to notice the dissatisfaction and investigate it, then just use it as a conversation piece that everyone joins in on.  Plus engaging in that conversation never seems to create change.  A strange sense of connectedness but not action to change or gratitude.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to looking for the satisfying elements of our lives and ask God for the courage to take thedissatisfying elements and either change or accept.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
