I have been the foul mood for many days now. I have been dealing with many sad things and frustrating things. I forgot to be happy. I was in pain.
Then I heard some inspirational talk and had an epiphany moment. For each sad, resentful thing I experienced recently, I determined to find a different perspective and be thankful for it. For instance, I sensed the ultimate betrayal from one of my friends recently. But dealing with it made me resilient and more compassionate toward others. I am thankful for it.
When we are in a deep, dark, gloomy place, it is hard to see the silver lining in the sky. But finding gratitude for what we have amid a crisis is a powerful way to cope with negative feelings….I will be counting my blessings tonight.
