RE: Choosing Gratitude: From Boring Chores, Wisdom Soars

in #motivation7 years ago

Yes! My mama tells me a lot that she is reminded of her own power and beauty when she sees me working hard or radiating happiness. I am so often told that I look just like my mom, and she was living at this exact same spot (literally, same spot, old yurt) when she was my age.

Once I complained to her that I was super sad I didn't have a bath to use down here at the yurt, and the tub in the house is in no condition to soak in these days. She told me that the house didn't used to have water, and she would carry buckets from the river, boil them on the fire and cart them to the tub in the house just so she could take a nice hot bath.

That story reminds me that it really is about what you want and what you are willing to do to get there!

Love to you miss traci! Thanks for engaging :)

Wow, perspective is everything, isn't it?

And how awesome that you have such a connection with your mother, and what a gift she's given you, pointing out your power and beauty. That's something that you'll carry with you no matter where you go. Brightest blessings to you and yours, @coyoteom!
