By carrying a grateful heart I am
happy, content and at peace regardless of how chaotic or restless the world
around me might become. If I am having a difficult time or a hard day I
pause to sit back and think of something about this time or this day that I am
grateful for and it allows me to gain a better perspective of the situation and
deal with whatever issue I might be having. It takes some practice, but
every day I am getting better at doing so.
This year I began a gratitude
journal. Lined pages I have numbered 1 through 366 (it is a leap year)
and every morning I write down the one thing, sometimes it’s a few things, I am
most grateful for at that moment. It can be as simple as a hot cup of coffee
or as monumental as the love I have for my children. It is difficult to
be sad or unhappy when you are writing down what you are grateful for in life
and as the pages begin to fill you realize how truly blessed and fortunate you
are. I have so many things I am grateful for.
As I sit hear writing this post I
find myself in a unique position. I am happy and content. All of my
needs are currently met and I want for nothing. And very soon we get to
celebrate on a day dedicated to being Thankful. How perfect is that?
