Grateful thoughts can be likened to the shade on a blistering hot day
The thought ‘grateful for the shade’ comes to mind as we’ve been experiencing such harsh and burning times! When I find myself wanting to groan and moan, I remind myself to be happy for the shade, the so much needed shade. I hark back to that feeling of finding the relief and embracing the shade after exposure to the scorching sun. I often find it easier to complain, especially on days when we have a copious number of things to do. I try to imagine the day when we cannot do and ponder if I would still complain. I want to be grateful for the shade and embrace a world filled with appreciation, contentment, and thankfulness.
When you hot and bothered,
life burning and scorching with problems
I hope you can find relief and embrace the shade
When you feel troubled and facing difficulty,
You also overwhelmed and facing sweltering issues
I hope you can find comfort and relief in the shade of a tree

Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts!!.. hope you have plenty of shade as you travel down the path of life… 🙂
Until we meet again..
May the love that you give
Always return to you,
That family and friends are many
And always remain true,
May your mind only know peace
No suffering or strife,
May your spirit only know love and happiness
On your journey through life.
