Look at these beautiful roses I was given! They are just so perfect and helps me remember that people are thoughtful and kind. Do you know that people are intrinsically trusting but over time and through their life experiences, they can become less trusting. This can be a problem when one automatically picks up on the negatives in people all the time and distrusts everyone. One cannot do life all by themselves. Gratitude is the best way to combat this way of thinking.
I too have to practise gratitude. It is too easy to pick on negatives but it only exacerbates the problem. Recently someone was made redundant which turned out to be a good payout for the said person, but caused a lot of angst for the remaining people because of the injustice of it (they hoped someone else would go instead) and the extra workload. I have been focusing on all the negative emotions which is wearing me down.
The receipt of these roses make me take a step back, and remind me to stop and smell the roses.
