Reframing One's Thoughts
"We don't need more to be thankful for, we just need to be more thankful."
Carlos Castaneda
I often find myself reframing my thoughts when facing a task, especially one as mundane as housework. Instead of filling the sink with warm sudsy water and thinking "I HAVE to do the dishes"...I change the thought to be "I am thankful I have dishes to wash." It works in all sorts of situations in life. Try it. You might be surprised that you are more thankful for your life than you knew!
My thanks to a former student who shared that thought with me. Teachers learn more from their students than perhaps the students learn from their teachers.
