It is that time of year where we begin to think about what we are thankful for… or we are at least reminded of this a lot this time of year!!

But there is this THING… sometimes with forget to actually take the time to recognize all the amazing things that define and enrich our lives!!!

Here is something I do not admit much. I forget this a lot too.   I am not sure why we forget to do this….  Is it because we just go about our daily lives not taking the time to be in the moment and acknowledge those around us who are important in our happiness?  Is it because someone taught us it is not OK to tell others how much we love them and are thankful for them? Or is it because we just don’t care?

If you allow yourself to enjoy and stay in the moment of gratitude and LOVE and

appreciate your life and all those around you then amazing things can and will happen!!

I can not stress enough how important it is to understand and truly appreciate our blessings every single day.  Listen reality is many of us lead similar “lives” to those we are close to BUT, we have not walked in their shoes which makes the differences between us all.  Thus, we cannot fully comprehend the full story of everyone or anyone around us!

Think about that for a minute!  There are things you do on a daily basis you may take for granted such as, being able to buy food for you and your family so no one is hungry, drive your car to work, being able to see the beauty of your surroundings or having a roof over your head to keep you dry.  Try living without these things that you take for granted and then you will truly start to see your gratitude jump to the next level!

If you can take the time to try this out as an experiment how long could you go… without a car, without enough money for food, without a roof over your head, or maybe without you iPhone 😊.

Heightening this awareness can help you attain a deeper level of abundance and understanding, open your heart further in gratitude and in compassion. Ture gratitude for all things and people that you take the time to acknowledge and, above all, appreciate more gratitude in your life and it will give you renewed grace.

Peace and Happiness
