Reflection

By: Gabriela Yareliz

I was walking through the rain today, as finally temps went from 105F to 75F. The cool breeze was like a shock to my body as it hit my legs with the sprinkle of rain.

I got to thinking in my rainy walk sans umbrella— how many people in the world actually reflect? What led me to this thought? The people with road rage who almost ran us over at the intersection despite the “walk” sign, a cyclist who apparently has no brakes, tourists who pretend they are alone in the world— you know.

But seriously— I think the world would be a different place if everyone (every day) asked themselves questions like:

-Who did I hurt today?

-What did I do right?

-How did God speak to me today?

-Where can I be more kind?

-Who can I express gratitude for/to?

-Where do I need to slow down?

-How can I better represent God?

-What am I lacking?

-Where can I contribute more or be more generous?

-Did I eat foods that love me back?

-Does X thought serve me?

Reflection goes a long way.
