Hello and welcome to Radio Headspace and to this brand new Friday.
It's Eve here.
So to finish the week, I wanted to talk a little bit about gratitude.
and how if we can cultivate gratitude, even when things are testing us or we're being challenged,
it can help us experience a greater sense of balance and stability in the mind.
So a few weeks ago,
we got a knock on the door saying that water was pouring into the downstairs apartment.
Now, I'm sure many of us have been in this type of situation before, and we can probably...
all agree it's not a good one there is disruption on both sides of the aisle anyway the leak was identified and it was coming from our kitchen sink and dishwasher so it's meant for the last few weeks we haven't been able to use either of these we're actually still no further forward as parts of the wall need to be knocked down to actually get into it and the job is rather complicated But I'm not here to talk about the plumbing and the building part of this.
What I'm here to talk about is counting our blessings, even when things are causing us disruption.
Of course, like all things in life, none of this happened in a vacuum.
Work's been very busy.
We've had my mother-in-law staying.
And we're looking after a friend's dog.
The cherry on top.
is that we have to wash the dishes in a bucket in the bathtub.
And there was a moment when all of this transpired,
and I was washing the dishes in the bucket, and I could feel the frustration rising.
This is so unfair.
Why now?
