Bravo! I love that quote. I remember passing it hanging on the wall while paceing with a collicky baby when it really clicked in. Be thankful in adversity. While lack of sleep and the demands of new motherhood are even a fraction of what other people are going through every day I wasn't handling it well and figured it qualified as adversity a little. So I decided to list all the things I was thankful for instead of dwelling on the hopeless situation I was in. It helped to take the attention off of myself for a little and get some perspective. In that moment the quote seemed to be addressed specifically to me. I wonder what it would look like if we followed all the different parts of it? I think this is a project or a book in the making. Brilliant! Bravo!
