Today I went to the grocery store. On my way out I thanked the girl who sacked my groceries - not once but three times. I had to laugh at myself. It seems that gratitude has become a habit for me.
I used to have another habit. I apologized incessantly and profusely. If I accidentally bumped into you it was, "I'm so sorry." If you didn't like the chocolate cake I baked for your birthday I said, "Please forgive me." I was forever guilty and always begging forgiveness.
I sometimes think that apologies perpetuate our guilt and shame. I prefer to cultivate gratitude.
So to my loyal readers, all three of you, thank you for reading this blog.
