From Mad to Gratitude

Another morning waking up MAD! It is a weird time of year for me. How do you mark this? On one hand it is glorious to still be here, to have outlived what they thought....on the other hand, it is the anniversary of a horrible day and time.

I came in and opened my email. I get these daily messages, DailyOm. Well, the universe was not going to let me wallow today. The message: GRATITUDE.

There is always something to be grateful for, even when life seems hard. When times are tough, whether we are having a bad day or stuck in what may feel like an endless rut, it can be difficult to take the time to feel grateful. Yet, that is when gratitude can be most important. If we can look at our lives, during periods of challenge, and find something to be grateful for, then we can transform our realities in an instant. There are blessings to be found everywhere. When we are focusing on what is negative, our abundance can be easy to miss. Instead, choosing to find what already exists in our lives that we can appreciate can change what we see in our world. We start to notice one blessing, and then another.
