Be Thankful for Your Mittens
Introduction
From a young age, I have cherished the thrill of playing outside in winter. The joy of layering up with the warmest coat, mittens, hat, and scarf I could find was a delight. As a child, I spent countless hours outside, often only returning indoors when my parents called me in for dinner or when darkness approached. I'd reluctantly enter our mudroom, where I'd dry my soaking wet mittens on the heater.
Growing Up with Winter Adventures
As I grew older, my love for winter never faded. My activities evolved from simple snow play to hiking, skiing, and snowboarding. After school, I'd eagerly ditch my book bag and bundle up in the warmest gear I had, including a special pair of mittens that kept my fingers toasty.
A Cold Journey to Mongolia
After high school, I embarked on a service trip to Mongolia, well aware of the extreme cold. My luggage overflowed with wool sweaters, long johns, heavy coats, and numerous mittens. Mongolia's biting temperatures didn't deter me. I embraced the cold and spent my days visiting hospitals and orphanages.
At one orphanage near the capital, the staff allowed us to take the children outside to play, something they hadn't done in weeks. Hearing this, I was determined to make the outdoor playtime unforgettable. However, I was shocked to see the children emerge in just spring jackets, with no mittens, hats, scarves, or boots.
A Heartwarming Experience
As we played outside, I was amazed by the resilience of the children. Not once did they complain about the cold. Their joy and energy were palpable, contrasting with the mittens and hats my friends and I wore.
Moved by their spirit, I gave my mittens to a little girl who seemed colder than the others. Moments later, I felt the sting of the cold on my fingers. Instead of ignoring it, I embraced the sensation, feeling grateful for all the warm mittens I'd worn over the years.
Conclusion
This experience taught me a profound lesson about gratitude. It's the small things, like a pair of mittens, that we often overlook but should be grateful for every day.
