thoughts
Thoughts randomly arise on subjects about which I have only occasionally given attention. During the wee hours of this morning, however, those random thoughts seemed to take an obsessive hold during the few moments after waking to nature’s call. From one seemingly important task to another, this mind would gallop obsessively as though its attention to the project upon which the obsession lay needed to be attended and remedied immediately. Frustration that the obvious rational was not taking hold in the quest to quell the irrational resulted in a bout of tossing and turning in those early morning moments. Slumber returned as a place of gratitude emerged intentionally focusing on the creator and sustainer of grace. As the alarm sounded to rouse me from a deep slumber to attend the morning rituals, I rose with the recollection of gratitude and thankfulness permeating the day’s beginning. A gratitude tune up has served to supercharge this aging vehicle for a loving journey through today’s pathway.
