I’m posting this as a reminder to myself today. I know this to be true and that it’s one of the most important things to remember throughout the day, and yet I’m amazed at how often I forget to practice it. Hmmm.
It doesn’t matter WHAT we express gratitude for, whether it be those things we consider small or large. What matters are the deep feelings of joy and love that bubble to the surface when we sincerely turn in this direction. I’ve found that I don’t always feeeeel grateful when I give thanks (at first) but if I persist, the feelings are sure to come.
I will often start giving thanks for anything and everything I can think of and have been in such dire straights at times that the only thing I could think of to start with were my shoelaces. “Thank you for my shoelaces,” led to another thing and another until I would invariably find myself snot crying with a sense of deep joy and love.
I’m grabbing a box of tissues and gettin’ busy today. Join me?

Yes we do need to realize that we have to be thankful more often than not. Life just sometimes gets in the way with the sad roads we have to travel. I hope your fur baby is getting better. I always say when life gets to hectic just breathe.😮
