Right off the bat, let me say that the usual acronym Keep it Simple, Stupid is absolutely no longer allowed in my thought processes. I speak kindly to myself, and in so doing, I honor myself. If I were to go back to the old way of mentally berating myself for being human, I would start believing those negative words. They don’t apply to me, and they never did. I learn from my mistakes and missteps—that is the purely human way! I can get frustrated when I seem to have to relearn lessons, but I’m still alright. I can learn to have patience with myself for the process.
Gratitude comes into my being when I have forgiveness for myself and others, when I open myself up to the beauty around me rather than the ugliness which exists. The positive coexists with the negative; I get to choose which one attracts me, and therefore affects me.
Today, I choose to be grateful for my life and life experiences. I choose gratitude for the simple, as well as the complex; for the profound and for the mundane; for the easy and for the hard.
Today, Sweetheart, I will keep it simple.
