Stuff that works

This #thankyouthursday, I am grateful for stuff that works.

Naturally, I’m prompted to this reflection by an acute awareness of stuff that isn’t working right now. (Washing machine, I’m looking at you.)

But for everything that isn’t functioning exactly the way I’d prefer, there are SO MANY things that absolutely are.

Certainly material objects—our car, my new quick-dry nail polish, my computer, my phone. These are things that work. And also, some stuff is working that is more fluidly defined: my marriage, my job, my child care arrangements.

Of course I need to give some focus to the stuff that isn’t working—that’s the only way it can improve. But when I give attention to everything that’s going well, I get to enact one of my favorite prayers: “Thank you, more please.”

Abundance > lack, basically.

So with that energy in mind…what stuff is working for you today?

Love > fear,
