I would say I'm mainly a "glass half full" kind of person. Some days I can be a "wow, look how much is in my glass and then there's all this awesome air on top and that contrast is amazing!" And other days I can be "how come it's always down to me to keep checking on my glass".
I love this quote:
"The secret to having it all is knowing you already do."
What I've noticed is the days I feel most content and less overwhelmed is when I'm able to focus on what I have, rather than what I don't have. The days I'm not comparing my glass, or to be honest, even thinking about my glass.
A combination of no sleep last night, and a streaming cold, means I don't think today is going to be my 24 hours without complaining. Complaining definitely has it's place - the more our heads and hearts are full of concerns, the more we have to get rid of them so we can think clearly again so we can work out how we want to move forwards. Complaining and being heard is one way of doing that clearing out. But I also know that what we focus on is what we see, and so it's good for me to keep my eyes on all that is lovely. I'm glad that tonight's busyness is less brain dependent than the last two evenings, and today I will definitely do some resting.
