Gratitude Journal Day 18 - Different Perspectives/Outlooks

Today, I am grateful for the ability to recognize when I am looking at something from a certain perspective and being willing to listen to other perspectives with an open mind.

I saw this graphic on my socials timeline and liked it. It shows the same amount of water but the perspective of the person looking at the glass and water can interpret it differently.

I find myself fluctuating between these different outlooks while in this season of my life. 

This year has included almost completing my first year at Tempe HS, going through my divorce, working a second job to make ends meet, meeting new people, interacting with students, watching my own kids get older, watching my own kids compete in sports they find enjoyable.

There has been good days and crappy days.

There has been hopeful days and days that I could not wait to be over.

I am trying to do better about recognizing what perspective/outlook I have and navigate those emotions and feelings.

Today, I am grateful for this area of growth in my life.
