I was sitting in front of an empty screen with no ideas in my head and my kittens jumped on the keyboard. Lots of symbols and letters appeared but none of it made any sense.

And, sometimes that is what life can feel like. Lots happening around me, but none of it is logical, in the scheme of things. What do you do? My only recourse before confused feelings turn to discouragement, is to start being thankful. One by one, I recount every good thing that I can think of. Small things. Like beans. They are growing like crazy just outside my door. A small zucchini someone gave me, (the big ones are torture.) The list goes gets longer and my thoughts get lighter. That’s why the Lord says, ‘In everything give thanks.’
