Something Wonderful

Everyday you wake up you have something to be thankful for (even on Mondays, eww). Your bright eyes open, you are alive, breathing, you have a warm bed to get out of and hot water to shower with. You have lights so you are able to see into your refrigerator, that is full of your favorite food, and your closet full of fabulous clothes. Those fabulous clothes keep you warm and hopefully stylish during your day at your wonderful job that pays for all those fabulous clothes, hot water, electricity, dinners out with friends, and toys for your precious pet. As if those things that we take advantage of by the minute, if not daily, are not enough to be thankful for, somewhere along your day something even more wonderful happens in your life. You may not even see it if you are not paying attention.

It could come in the form of getting an extra discount on that already discounted sweater you have been eyeing. The perfect apartment could suddenly become available. A company recruits you on LinkedIn. The show you were dieing to watch last week but didn't have time for repeats on TV one night when you are available to park your butt on the couch. A dear family member or old friend calls that you haven't talked to in a while. You & your boyfriend get off work early- thus creating an unexpected date night! A new awesome movie becomes available on Netflix (thank you!). An incredibly nice phone operator decides to grant you a break on that bill you paid late, or those loans that are past due. You happen to get the BEST parking spot at the store or near your building. You happened to stop at the store on your way home and just happened to avoid the traffic from an accident on the freeway, and you got some yummy food for your lunch tomorrow- double win! The list can go on and on.

I do not believe in coincidence. I believe that everything happens for a reason and those reasons start to stack up and surround you until you start to build a wonderful life. So when life hands you lemons remember all the wonder that you encounter each and every day. When you start to pay attention.... what you see might just blow your mind. :)
