Picking Berries and Attitudes

“I’m so proud of us.” Look at us go. There was fussing, bugs dive bombing our eyes, and yet we picked berries, “because we love our daddy,” was the reason I told them today.

It’s easy to complain. My oh my it’s so easy to complain. But it slowly kills you from the inside out, turning your light into decay. So, I’m choosing differently these days.

We get to decide what feels hard and what doesn’t. Have you ever thought about that? We say, this or this is just hard. But we could also decide to say, this is no big deal. I can do this happily.

So we picked berries, did our best to not fuss about the bugs and thorns, they’re just part of this experience. We enjoyed our grouse following us about and the boys even managed to feed him berries by hand.
