Some experiences can only be appreciated afterwards, not during. Then, we thought there was nothing to appreciate. But now we can see how that experience was exactly what we needed.
Difficult experiences are the hardest things for which to be thankful. But sometimes years later, we may see how a gift was hidden there.
Regardless of the details, the habit of keeping a gratitude journal makes us more alert and sensitive. The more we seek things and people to record, the more grateful we become.
Where we place our focus determines our attitude. When we start down a familiar mental rut (“Why do I get stuck with all the work around here?”), we can redirect that channel, finding something to appreciate.
It’s a mistake to put St. Peter on a pedestal when we can learn more from the bumbling oaf he really was. Couldn’t he do better than tell Jesus to get lost? (“Depart from me for I am a sinful man.”)
When God sees the shining saints, God once again looks on creation and finds it very good. The saints aren’t dour, but fun to be around.
