GRATITUDE
“Gratitude is the quality of being thankful…
Readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.”
There are so many things that I am grateful for…I wouldn’t know where to begin. And for this simple reason I started writing in a “Gratitude Book”. Many of you that know me, are aware that I carry a journal where ever I go. I love journals and believe that you can never have enough. I carry a journal with me because I like to jot down the little things that I am grateful for throughout the day.
By writing things down you increase your awareness of the many wonderful gifts that surround you. You are acknowledging and magnifying them while attracting the positive into your life. Try it…you might notice wonderful things starting to manifest.
There are many times that I have felt that the world is against me (a pity party) and I needed a reminder that this is simply not true. When I feel this way, I turn to my journal and read what I have written. I am then reminded of the simple things that I am grateful for. Gifts such as…the beauty of the sun rising in the morning, or the stars shining brightly in the sky.
I am grateful for the many people that have touched my soul and placed a smile in my heart. I am grateful for family and true friends. I am grateful for the many lessons life has taught me thus far. I am grateful to be alive and see life as a series of adventures.
We are always where we are meant to be. Experiencing ups and downs. There are so many things we experience day to day that we don’t pay attention to because we are too busy focusing on the challenging struggles life throws at us. Choose to see the good in all situations, and choose to be grateful that you had the opportunity to grow…grow stronger and more aware.
I am grateful for so much and I appreciate you allowing me to share my Adventures with you. I would like to say this simple phrase that carries deep appreciation and gratitude in it…THANK YOU.
