Embracing Busy Gratitude.

There is so much to do, and there is so little time. The to-do list grows by the day. The obligations that need to be met continue to expand. Somehow, it all manages to get done. When I reflect, being busy and having a large to-do list is something to be thankful for. It means that I have people I care for and that there are people who care for me. The list's items often connect to a larger purpose and service to others. Instead of rushing through the to-do list, how about a reframe? Take time to be thankful that you have places and people to see. Cherish these moments and move slowly through them. One day, they will be gone, and you will wish you had enjoyed them.
