Do what makes you glad. That is not as easy as it sounds. I mean, singing along with the radio makes me glad. However, I hate to study voice. Dinosaurs make me glad, but I detest science. Problem solving makes me glad, but I get frustrated when math gets tough. Kids make me glad, but I'm antsy. Being outside makes me glad, but I can't handle winter. Adventure makes me glad, but I hate change. Chocolate makes me glad, but it's "unhealthy." Friendship bracelets make me glad, but friends fail. Sports make me glad, but my muscles ache. Jesus makes me glad, but sometimes I know my side of the relationship is lacking.
I find often that I'm never just glad. I don't know how to simply be glad. There's always some worry, some rational thought that keeps me from being 100% filled with gladness. Contentment is hard to come by for me I guess. The grass is always greener, even when I'm basking in emerald shades of foliage.
Something to work on.
