Day 3 of an attitude of gratitude: I'm grateful....for messes. Yes you heard me right. I'm grateful for messes like this one.....
I know you are scratching your head and thinking I've lost my marbles....but give me a minute. Life is about taking the crap that gets thrown at you and turning it around. And an attitude of gratitude is about looking for the good. In this I found...I am lucky that I can feed my family breakfast on a cold morning. I have power (which because of Hurricane Sandy many people are without right now), I have an income to afford a home/kitchen to cook in, I can buy the food to make breakfast, I have a wonderful family to share it with...and I have a wonderful hubby that will help me clean the mess :) With all that in perspective....how can I be grumpy? So this morning when my waffles (yes I make orange waffles) overflowed I did crinkle my nose for a few seconds. Then I shrugged my shoulders, sipped my hot coffee and said "oh well the counters need cleaning anyway." And when Christy shouted "We're having waffles, I love waffles" I knew the mess didn't matter one bit. Hope you find a great mess this week....I'll be back tomorrow :)
I'll explain about the orange waffles sometime....just remind me.
