28 Days of Gratitude: Day 13 - Chaos

Chaos?  Grateful for chaos?  Yep, that's what I'm sayin'.  I am grateful for chaos....not all the time...but once in a while.  Every once in a while the carpet needs to be pulled from under us.  Not to necessarily knock us down, but to shake us up...to shake us out of our complacency.  Chaos makes us think...well, I know it makes me think.  It is unsettling old ideas and beliefs that results in a sort of chaos of the spirit.  

Chaos.  It can be a blessing in disguise.  I can remember times I was feeling rather smug,  times when I thought I had it all figured out.  Then reality set it and I was plunged into the chaos of confusion and uncertainly.  It was the best thing that could have happened...each time it has happened.  And I expect it may happen again...although I like to think I have learned from it...at least enough to know that I don't know everything.  It fact the only thing I do know for absolute fact is, well, nothing is absolute or sure.  That is what living through chaos has done.  And for that, I am grateful.
