Selfishness

Well, what do you enjoy? the mother of mine inquired. You don't seem to like to cook, or clean, or sew.... Her words faded out as I pondered. Now I know that none of these things are true for I love to sew and although cooking has never been a favorite of mine I had never minded cleaning much. Why did she think that I didn't enjoy anything I do? The issue at hand was my very own selfishness. Here I had been complaining that life was boring and that nothing I did was ever of any interest. So I continued on in my state of pity wondering why life had to be so like it was. Until in my musings i realized that I was still being quite the self-centered young lady. If I would only turn my thoughts heavenward and focus my dear Friend rather than myself how much more I could enjoy my lot in life! So, may you learn from my selfishness and not experience it yourself:)
