My psychology instructor in college always added the phrase whatever that is to the word ’normal’ whenever it came up in discussion to denote that it’s different for everyone. I like normal. Though every day is different, the general pattern of mine is the usually the same, with certain activities (meals, chores, recreation, rest) occurring daily. Sometimes a monkey wrench gets tossed in, but not really all that often (which is yet something else to be grateful for.) When gratitude’s added to anything and everything that comes my way, whatever’s occurring at that very moment is somehow enriched, made better in some way. That’s why I’m so determined on expressing gratitude daily and encouraging it in others. It’s truly remarkable the way gratitude works!
… in thy presence is fullness of joy… ~Psalm 16:11
