We may be skeptical of ever finding joy or security. What a blessing, then, to hear from our fellowship friends that we have the power to feel gratitude for what we have learned, even from the most painful experiences. We can change our feelings toward many of our difficult experiences if we change our perspective. We have all heard the adage, “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” But do we feel the profundity of that saying? What we do with our experiences is up to us. A drinking partner can be tolerated if we focus on acceptance and patience. An irate co-worker can be forgiven when we remember our Higher Power gives us no more than we can handle. Our attitude, in fact, can save us or break us in every instance. Gratitude is nothing more than a decision to look at problems with a fresh perspective. My mind awaits whatever I decide to put in it. I control the kind of day I will have.
