This prayer was positioned right on the windowsill of the kitchen sink in Mom's kitchen. We saw it every day when we washed dishes or did any kind of kitchen clean-up chore.
That was no accident. She very much wanted us to understand and appreciate our good fortune in life, and had very little patience with any kind of whining or self-pity.
And we did have a lot to be grateful for.
We still do.
Even on bad days, I try very hard to remember that. My worst day is undoubtedly a day that many a less fortunate person would gladly trade for any time.
Living with gratitude means you are happier with less. That's a recipe for both mental health and financial well-being.
May you feel blessed today.
