More Thoughts on Gratitude

So I’m doing this gratitude experiment. It occurs to me yesterday how often I miss an opportunity to be grateful. Last night I received some of the worst service I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We sat at the Blue Star Brewery for over an hour before the waiter took our order. The entire night went that way.

Now, I could have taken the opportunity to be grateful. After all, I had an opportunity to sit on porch on a nice summer night, catching up with good friends. There was no rush, decent music, and even misters to keep the heat in check. Instead, I automatically chose to complain about how long it took to get a refill on my chips and salsa.

I should be more grateful.
