I've read about so many people who I admire that also happen to take time to think about what they are grateful for each day. I'm not sure if they are thankful because they are successful or successful because they take time to be routinely thankful, either way there is something about having a practice of gratitude.
Thanksgiving (and every four years leap day!) is my favourite holiday. We focus on the good things in our lives. It teaches us that no matter what is happening around us that there is always something to be grateful for. And even if we only focus a little, that good thing will get a bit bigger. When we all take the time to do this, it puts a lot of hope, joy and love into the world making everything a brighter across the country.
I've been trying to foster a practice of being grateful each day. It seems so silly when I think about why I haven't been able to. The excuses seem feeble. I figured out this daily blog thing though, so I'm hopeful I'll be able to figure out this same thing.
