Gratitude is a thing of the past. It seems like people tend to focus on the 3 or 4 bad parts of the day,and letting those things mold your image of the day, rather than focusing on the good. Call me an eternal optimist, but there are hundreds of great things that happen to each of us daily that I bet go unnoticed.
I am grateful for every morning that I am alive....grateful to wake up with my health, in a safe comfortable bed, with my family I've built around me. And that's just when I open my eyes! My stomach has hurt all day,and I'm pretty sure I have a sinus infection...but those things won't define my day. The magnificent weather, great unexpected conversations, and relaxing nature will be how I define today.
It amazes me how quickly people let bad things affect them.God doesn't ever give us more than we can handle,and everything is a lesson. Every heartbreak, every disappointment, and every broken road should be given gratitude because without them you wouldn't be where you are today, you wouldn't be on the road to where you're going...you wouldn't be alive.
So make yourself a love bank. Deposit lots and lots of great moments from each and every day. That way,when bad moments,situations,or days happen,you have a million reasons to continue to smile. What are you grateful for today?
