I’d just settled in for my sit spot this morning, adjusted my sweatshirt, got my seat comfy, and sighed in pleasure as the bright sunshine hit my body in just the right way, when I heard my little cat Kovu inside the house scratching hard at the window above me.
He regularly paws at the windows in an attempt to get outside.
This strikes me as HILARIOUS because less than three feet from where he was pawing at this window was his cat door TO THE OUTSIDE.
A couple of days ago I was listening to Trevor Noah’s excellent podcast “What Now?” He was talking about a famous dude having thoughts about some awards.
Trevor got quiet, sighed, and said, “It really is amazing how in life you can have everything, but if you do not get the thing that you WANT, the everything can seem like nothing in comparison.”
What we focus on matters.
What we’re grateful for matters.
And sure, dreams and goals matter, too.
But if you lose sight of what you DO have, unhappiness and dissatisfaction are the result.
Kinda like being three feet from the door that will actually take you outside…but you’re scratching at that one closed window in front of you.
Warmly,
Angie
