I’ve been thinking a lot about cultivating the spirit of gratefulness lately. One of those hard to see blessings I think is that of being in a place of discomfort, uncertainty, insecurity and vulnerability (which oddly enough is something I just seem to be Abundantly blessed with at the moment, unfortunately, I find it hard to appreciate and easier to dwell in its difficulty). Anyway, one of the great things about uncomfortableness is the way it keeps you on your toes, not taking anything for granted, keeping you constantly asking the question of “How do I love better?” Which is something that is a great thing to be asking, but easy not to ask when things are secure, easy and comfortable. Whereas, when you’re faced with difficulty and discomfort, you can’t help but ask it, and that is a blessing, because I so want to be someone who never forgets to ask, “How can I love better?”
