This week I introduced my
eleven-year-old daughter to Disney’s classic movie, ‘Pollyanna’. It’s been
years since I first watched it, but I was still sentimental enough to shed a
few tears at the end. Pollyanna’s ‘Glad Game’ is commendable, especially as
it’s so easy to take life for granted when you get caught up in everyday busyness.
I thought about the Glad Game today and here’s a short list of my ‘Glads’.
I can be glad I have too many
books on my shelves, when I think about countries where books are a luxury most
can’t afford.
I can be glad the roses in my
garden are still blooming, even though winter is only weeks away.
I can be glad my daughter has
the opportunity to learn the piano, when I get pleasure from hearing her
practise.
I can be glad I’m healthy and
that my family is healthy, when I see a friend fighting cancer.
And lastly, I can be glad two
beautiful doves have decided to make a home on our roof and that each morning
they’re reminders of two important ideals in my life: peace and hope.
Tracey.
