“I will seek motivation, instead of lamenting its lack.”

I wrote these words in my journal, having acknowledged the feeling that a day of forlorn activity beckoned.

A quick look around at my life offered nothing in particular to get revved up about. No joyous event or pursuit leapt to mind.

So I went searching. Actively enquiring. Looking for things to be grateful for and reasons to carry on.

They were there to be found – just not at first glance. My feelings were everywhere and I had to peer through them.
