so glad to have you in my life

I currently feel aware of just how lucky I am to have each and every person in my life. This is at times very easy (I know many inspirational, generous and loving people). I often thank them for being in my life and the joy they bring. And then there are times, such as when one of my children has caught me when I’m tired and is repeatedly pressing my buttons, when I get all cross and shouty. This is when I forget that I’m still very lucky to have them in my life. Clearly I’m not superhuman, nor do I want to be. But right now it’s what I’m going for – would I be acting differently if I could remember just how glad I am to have this person in my life (I sometimes need to step away from the situation to remember this!!) It’s all part of the same re-focussing of my mind from feeling aggrieved about something, to looking for the delight in every situation. Choosing to cherish, rather than give energy to resentments. I’ll let you know how I get on…
