We don’t realize how good
we already have it
we already have it
Last night we went to the balloon staging area for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.
One side of the street at the staging area is private access and the other side is public access. Many of the residents on the private access side throw balloon parties. If you get invited to one of those parties, or live there, then you have access to the private side. My in-laws were invited to one of those parties and we tagged along.
We showed our invitation to the policeman and were allowed behind the police barricade.
After looking at the balloons, we decided to check out a 2nd staging area that was about 5 blocks away.
Immediately upon exiting the barricade, we were in a thick river of people. To get into the other staging area, we would have had to go through a huge crowd control maze that looked like it would take forever. We quickly decided not to do that and instead returned to the calm of the private access area.
The moral of this story is that before we ventured out, we had no idea just how good we had it. Afterwards it was easy to be grateful for the private access area.
We already have so very much to be grateful for! We already have it good! What’s great in our lives that we take for granted? ~ people that love us, electricity, hot water, food in the fridge and pantry, friends, clean clothes, a closet full of clothes, existing clients, the money we’ve already made, the successes we’ve already had, and on and on and on.
A little gratitude goes a long way
Much Love,
Jonathan
