I have
spoken on this topic in past entries however; I have come across the topic of
gratitude in my recent reading times. Everything I pick up whether it's a book
or magazine in the doctor’s office the article speaks about being grateful. Seeing the word
“gratitude” really had me thinking about the mystery of life and how it really
is a great journey if we allow it to
be. As adults we are busy
items such as cooking, cleaning, personal development, school, kids, work, spouses,
elderly or sick parents, finances, spiritual growth, and the list could go on.
Somehow as adults we seem to find what is wrong in those areas I mentioned.
Have we ever stopped to think about the gratefulness in those areas? What are you
grateful for concerning your kids? What about your career? Gratitude does not mean
you are settling for less or that you are not worth more, it just simply means
you are enjoying the ride on your way to where you are going. Gratitude means
you are thankful for what you have now as you continue to gain more.
Let me ask
you this. Do you have a couch? TV? Washcloths? How about a bottle of water?
These are items we do not think about on a daily basis, yet someone somewhere
in this world or even country wishes they were in your shoes. Today do yourself
a favor, look at your family, look at your co-workers, look at your house, car,
and food in the fridge and simply have gratitude. Gratitude just like attitude
is a choice.
Your
thoughts welcome…
