Remember what you begged God for last year? You might be living in some of it right now.

Answered things stop registering almost immediately. Think back to what you were frantic about this time last year, the result, the place, the friendship, the thing you promised yourself you would never take for granted. Some of that is now simply the background of your ordinary week, unremarked, possibly complained about. That is not ingratitude so much as how attention works, which is why it needs interrupting on purpose.

Write down three things you wanted badly a year ago. Mark the ones you now have and sit with that for a minute.
