This week my mood a little bit changed. I do not really know what has happened to me, but I feel one thing for certain that I feel more relaxed toward thing. Well, it is not very far from pacifying 'que sera sera' or non-atachments toward what happens, but not exactly that. It is a gift, something given and not from myself. It's like when worries becomes last option in a journey. My mind has been so familiar with this one: worries! Yet I think it is a good idea to get familiar with other way of mind: being thankful.
My attachments toward comfort and sometimes pleasure makes my thinking unfair at times. I love anything tasty but avoid anything sour. It is time for me to embrace both. This is a challenge but why not? I would love it.
Being brave and calm is the one that my state yearns for. By brave here I mean, being myself and abiding in the things that the Lord wants me to be. While calm means being unshakable and still. This is an art and the main course for this art is gratitude.
Sometimes I ask myself... Hm, OK, but thankful to whom and for what? And the answer is the first and foremost to the Lord! He is good and His love endures forever. Just pondering on this short but beautiful line makes my heart want to thank Him: He is good and His love endures forever. What can be more amazing than that? Second to those people who cares of us and deal with us in grace. Then, to our friends and enemies. Simply thank everybody! Because they have helped us to shape us! For what? For everything! :)
