The modern thinking of the miserable mind believes that dividing your time between your duties to our families, our work, our communities, our God, and getting our own lives presentable is morally wrong - emblematic of selfishness and privilege.
But what happens to all those hours that were once devoted to that? How do you fill up that time when all those elements which make for a challenging but satisfying life are considered anathema?
Once you remove those priorities, you're left with "you." And that "you" is a relentless chaos of anxiety, fear, self-pity and perhaps worst of all: envy. An envy directed at all those who still believe in those duties you have abandoned.
it's not the simplest equation to reverse, but it's our responsibility to help that reversal take place.
We are so grateful to have found The Gutter and to be part of a place where we can meet wonderful people and feel a real sense of community. We truly have so much to be thankful for, and today we love to celebrate that together.
Please share your Thanksgiving moments with us—what you’re thankful for, what made you smile, or the simple joys that made today special.
As for me, I’m thankful that my family is healthy and happy, that the kids have their homes and their jobs, and that I can pause during the day to notice something in nature I don’t see every day…..flock of starlings murmuring around our refinery.
Those little moments mean everything.
Happy Thanksgiving from my heart to yours.
