It's Always Time to Be Thankful

Ever wonder why it takes a holiday, a birthday or the end of the year to settle your mind on the things you are grateful for? I wonder about this all the time. I try to be reflective and contemplative and thankful every day, but I realize it takes the big celebrations to bring me round to all the good things that comfort my heart and make me glad.  It makes me queasy to admit this, but truth is, I spend much more time thinking about what I have lost or never had or will never experience, than I do giving thanks. Isn’t that a silly waste of time? Yup. A huge Waste-of-time. Seriously, time already flies, so why do I waste even a moment on anything that makes me cringe or cry?   

Ho hum. Writing these thoughts seems a waste of time. I should be writing about the possibilities and good things that relate to developmental delays, autism and Asperger syndrome. I should be talking about living life large, no matter what obstacles may lay in wait to trip you up on your own path.     

I’m not going to suggest there isn’t a time and place for going gloomy. In fact, taking a trip down the rabbit hole now and then may be just what we need to do to truly appreciate the flowers growing all around us.  Just don’t stay in the rabbit hole for too long. The dark won’t let you see all the cool things you have to be thankful for.
