Gratitude is like magic; it opens our eyes to see the beauty all around us. The beauty is always there, but we are often too busy in our heads and our stories to notice.
Sometimes it takes work, determination, and vigilance to see past these stories to the beauty, but that doesn’t mean it’s not always there. It’s rather like the sun that is always shining beyond the clouds and behind every storm.
In some of my darkest times, I found that expressing gratitude could lift me past those clouds. I would express gratitude for anything I could think of–my shoelaces, the leaves on the trees, the blue sky, the flicker of a candle, the way the light reflects on a piece of metal.
I would do this until my tears of pain changed to tears of joy, whether it took a few minutes or an hour. No situation or circumstance is beyond the power of gratitude.
