Yes, we take so much for granted. I definitely do. I'm sure it's something of a defense mechanism so that we don't become overwhelmed with how otherwise wonderful our lives are. I mean, I could go catatonic if I had to consider all the things that are right with my life. It's a good thing nature gave me these mental filters, so that I can concentrate on the little inadequacies around me.
Life has a way of working out.
Maybe it doesn't always work out for me or you, but somehow things get pretty well balanced. Just when I start to feel burdened with writing something in these pages, someone sends me an encouraging email. Just when I get down on somebody at work, they do something brilliant. Just when I start to feel sorry for myself, I hear of someone else's difficulties, and it repeatedly enforces the concept that things are not that bad. Oh look, Grace just showed up.
