One of the major lessons I have learned in the past year is to focus on gratitude. Every time I am freaking out about something in my life, I have been guided to write a gratitude list. If I am pissed off about work, I write a gratitude list. If I start comparing my life to others. You guessed it. Gratitude.
You see, the more we focus on the things we love about our life, the more of those things we receive. Every time this happens to me, I think of it as a little miracle, because, well... who doesn't want a miracle?! I want as many as I can in my life. Then guess what starts happening? I get more of them. Miracles abound.
I have not been extremely faithful about doing a daily gratitude journal (though it is a goal of mine), but I have decided that I will add at least one thing I am grateful for here on my blog every Thursday, and I shall name it "Thankful Thursday" (yes, I came up with that name all on my own, thank you very much).
Today I am grateful for my amazing family and the time I get to spend with them. They are loving and loud, funny and active, and they give me the best cuddles in the whole wide world. I love them to the core.
Got Gratitude? Try it. It works. I promise.
