Today at LCF the talk was about living gratefully. You know, being thankful each day for the little good things and big good things in one's life. It's not really hard. We just have to look for opportunities to be thankful in the mundane routines and activities we undertake daily. We're called to live gratefully, both to God and to other people. It's not really about how you feel, it's about taking control of your will and consciously adhering to an obligation to adopt an attitude of gratitude. It's a pretty sweet deal I reckon, since your life will become more enriched and you'll become a better person for it. It was a good talk.
I found this picture the other day, and I think it sums up today's talk quite well. Unfortunately I'm not sure where it's from or who drew it, but it's pretty cool. It's called "Geek Optimism".
There's always something and/or someone to be thankful for. Let's take some time each day to think about that something and/or someone, and be grateful. If it's a person, maybe write them an email or letter to say thanks, even if it was for something from ages ago. No doubt you'll make their day.
