these days we bring



I used to have the mindset that life happens at you. 
but I think today I'm learning 'we happen.'  we pick our days, and decide what we bring.
I've had a really bad attitude since I woke up. I'm sorry it was that attitude I offered this day the lord has made. but luckily it's not over, and I have some time to redeem myself.  
sometimes all we need is a slower perspective to grow some roots. 
a cup of  tea. postponing errands. resting in prayer. adorning the tree with past year's memories.
and of course deep, cleansing breaths. 
the sun has set, but I've got time to bring my best about...
particularly in the form of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. 
these days we bring are simple and shifting, and for that I'm sitting in thanksgiving.

  1. I love this. How often I wake up in the same attitude and need to realize that its up to me to pause and reform my feelings for the day.
