I am still learning how to be grateful in the middle of a crisis. How about you? We have all been there. In the middle of a mess where we could easily lose our temper and let it out. It would be easy to just let it flow. Fun fact…my husband and some of my closest friends call me the “Kraken” sometimes. I admit it, when I blow – I blow up, like a volcano. I may be speaking truth about someone or something, but my method of delivery is not the best. So, I wrote this post for me first. I hope it helps you too.
