Day 23 – November 23 – “Give thanks for someone that told you a difficult truth”
This is the
hardest assignment yet. I’m not sure anyone has told me difficult truths, other
than that a loved one has died, or like last week, my children aren’t coming
for Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. It is hard to give thanks for any of
that, and I’m pretty sure none of that is the “spirit” of this assignment.
Nobody has
ever told me I’m not smart enough to do something, or that I can’t do something
because I’m female, or that I’m too old for something.
That said, I’m
still waiting for someone to tell me what appears right now to be a truth, and
it will be very difficult indeed: That I’m not getting a fence in my back yard. And it will be equally difficult to give thanks for the person that has to tell me that.
