This morning while I was on the train- I was passing the time by reading an article on the ‘eye’. The article was actually about weight loss, but something the article mentioned was 98% of being successful is actually showing up in the first place. After all, if we don’t ‘show up’ for something, we definitely can’t expect to be successful.
It made me think about all the times that I’ve ‘been’ somewhere, but I hadn’t really shown up and been ready to receive results, and ready to do what it took to get them. I was grateful for that little lesson in life this morning.
Today was a day filled with train delays and cancellations, but yet, rather than being frustrated, I enjoyed the time. Yes, it was cold- after all 18 degess IS cold, but I had fun. I laughed and smiled at others when they groaned about the train problems and it made my day better.
I’m feeling really grateful today- for many things, but I’ll share a few with you- I’d love to know what you’re feeling grateful about in your own life today.
My Gratitude List for January 26, 2010.
Today I’m Grateful For:
- In spite of the crazy trains and their problems, I still made it to Bible Study and to Bobbi’s this afternoon.
- Marcel, for picking me up at a rerouted train stop and taking me to Bobbi’s since my train was canceled.
- The fabulous soup that Bobbi made us for lunch and the recipe that she gave me so I can make it this weekend. YUM!
- My deliciously warm bed, that I had a hard time getting out of this morning.
- SUNSHINE!!! A full day of sunshine- the first in a long time.
