As I sit to type today, I try to take the time to be grateful and to notice things of certain importance. I want to sit and ponder, to write and to notice.
What I find, instead, is my husband, who is attempting to work (yes, it’s 11:00pm) in the next room. I’m distracting him. I can tell (and have been told).
And so, while there may have been a time this would have irritated me, I think today I will learn from those mistakes and do differently.
On this eve of a Monday morning, when many will grumble back into workweeks, I will sign off short today and be grateful for simply employment. Because it’s not so simple. Times are tough and having employment is also now a privilege. Rather than grumble over the work, the time of day, the need for me to be silent …. I will stop and be thankful for this struggle we are without, even if it means that our family’s Sunday was disturbed from usual plans or my quiet evening writing time must be shortened.
If you are also so privileged, please take notice as your workweek starts. Change your perspective, consider the alternative, be aware and positive and see how that may change your week, or at least your morning.
