Daily Gratitude: Ah, change – my favorite subject- ha ha. We all know that nothing stays the same but we sure don’t embrace it while it’s happening. However, later we may not even remember what it was we were upset with. You know my favorite saying (and this really is my favorite) “everything always works out for me”. Well, that includes the things that seem painful at first. For instance, my being rejected at medical school-not once but twice. Boy was that painful. I thought my life was ending. But as time went by I realized how it was one of the best things that happened to me. There was a new path and it was the better path. So once again I proved to myself that the universe is smarter than me. When you write something like that, it seems like a big “duh” but when you’re in the middle of it, you can’t see it. That’s why when I learned to say my mantra, I was able to “let go” (another hard thing for most of us) and let then universe put all that goodness in front of me. I don’t have to understand it right away. I just have to have faith that the universe is always looking out for me. It wants to keep me from stepping in that hole I’m headed for. I just had to learn to listen and heed its advice.
