Was contemplating and reflecting on the month of November 30 days of gratitude last night after reading a very lively discussion initiated by one of my friends. What I realized is that the first year I took this challenge I thought what a novel idea. This should be fun. And then I found it was very difficult for me after the first week because I was struggling and did not have a grateful heart but I continued on and completed the challenge. The next year I had spent some time throughout the year writing a gratitude list occasionally as I had realized I had many gifts I had begun to take for granted. Through that process I started to see my life is blessed beyond measure and I followed the 30 days of gratitude or thankfulness up with the blessings in the month of December and my heart and my attitude changed. The way I present changed. I quit with the I have to and moved to I get to. I get to clean my house because I have a roof over my head. I get to pay my bills today because I have income. I get to watch other peoples lives be transformed today because I am awake, aware and paying attention and today I am grateful for all of this. Have a blessed day my friends. Thank you for challenging me to acknowledge what I had seriously started to take for granted Lela.
