This afternoon I was talking with someone and as I listened to the story being told I suddenly felt grateful that *it* isn't all about me. I'm better off when my minutes, hours, and days aren't all about me - when I can focus on others and their needs, hearts, etc. When I do make things all about me I am frankly quite miserable. And don't misunderstand me, when it comes to taking care of myself - physically and emotionally - there is an element of it having to be all about me but overall in my days I really want it to be about others. I trust my Creator to take care of my needs (and usually he does it through someone else who isn't focused on themselves so see how it's a circle? Not a vicious one but a rather lovely one). So today I'm feeling grateful for the times when I can let go of some crazy insecure need for things to be all about me and I can make *it* all about others.
