Gratitude was once a practice that came highly natural to me. As the years have gone by and life has piled on its tests and struggles I have realized that I have to be far more intentional about Gratitude.
I've seen that, even the struggles and set backs need to be celebrated. They to have purpose. When we wallow in negative mind spaces, we loose site if the gifts they hold.
Today, and ever day, I strive to find the blessings in every moment.
Because I like to intensively find the blessing in the challenge, today I am grateful for a slow day. I am not feeling well today and I plan to just relax a bit. For me that looks like creating posts, planning schedules and picking up the hook to maybe catch up on my Christmas squares, but without the pressure of a deadline. If I need to sleep, I will sleep. If I can be productive, I will. The house may not get cleaned and dinner will likely be soup (yum), but I have been given the gift of a reminder to slow down. Today, I will.
What are you grateful for today?
May you all have a blessed day!
