For Friday, February 15: Life Tapestry

The happiest people are those who, thread by daily thread, weave a tapestry of gratitude and wonder.  Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I'm not very good with a thread and needle.  In fact, I'm really bad with them.  So bad I don't know how to actually use a thread and needle past threading it.  But today's quote I get.  I can thread the needle of happiness with gratitude and wonder and sew a pretty amazing tapestry.  But I have to choose it.  I have to choose, daily, to pick up the needle of happiness and thread it with gratitude and wonder.  If I just hold the needle of happiness but don't thread it then the tapestry won't get weaved.  You have to have a material, threads of gratitude and wonder in this case, in order to make something.  An empty needle isn't of any use.  Happiness is like that.  It is empty without something feeding it.  It is fleeting without the substance of gratitude and wonder.  Every day we get handed the needle of happiness and then we have the choice of threading it.  I don't know about you but when the tapestry of my life is created I want some of the most vibrant colors to be of gratitude and wonder.  How about you?

Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play.
