I opened the mailbox Thursday morning, and there was a Taste of Home magazine with a Thanksgiving dinner on the cover. It said, "Your best feast yet."
When you look at that turkey, the stuffing, and all the dressings and dishes on the table, it seems like all is right in the world.
But then you realize it's just a magazine cover. Everything is not all right in the world. Everything is not even right in your own world.
And you begin to think: Is it the tasks involved in our daily jobs that create the weight? Is it the weight of those tasks when you add them all together? Or is it the potential consequences of not doing them?
Shouldn't completing those tasks eliminate the weight of the potential consequences of your decisions?
They all kind of blend together. And then it's just easier to look at that magazine cover, at that Thanksgiving dinner, and say, "Everything's okay in the world."
Have you ever finished everything and still felt the weight?
Here, I made this. My gift to you, for taking the time to read.
