Step 2 in the battle of not letting everyday life get in the way of really living. This is an important step also. Remember step 1was spending quality time with God every morning. This step involves maintaining an attitude of gratefulness and being thankful throughout the day. I have learned through the school of hard knocks to appreciate so many more things. Things like a little squirrel running out in the yard bringing a smile to my face....I thank God for that situation which he orchestrated to make me smile!
So many times, I have been thankful when I drive past an accident, knowing full well that if I had not been delayed a few more minutes at home for some reason, that could have been me in that accident. It's so important to maintain a good attitude no matter what happens during the day. Sometimes things catch us off guard and we can become angry or sad or ungrateful and those times happen.....don't beat yourself up.......just don't stay in that attitude for long.....bounce back and purposefully move back into an attitude of gratefulness again. You will feel much better this way trust me. Smile! You are on your way to a much better life one step at a time!
