Being grateful is hard work.  With all the things that are going on at the moment I am finding that being grateful is requiring me to show up.  It is so easy to get swept away with the busyness and stress of the day that taking a moment out of that day to be grateful is so hard.

So I wanted to take a moment to remind myself that it is important for me to show up, to stop and breath, to be grateful for the life that I have been given.

Sitting here right now, I am gently reminding myself that whatever I find myself doing or whatever my day is throwing at me, I will remember to be grateful for everything that I can. 

I am grateful for me.

For my life.

For my gifts and talents.

For the difference that I am making to those around me.

I’m thankful that in this great big world, God's plan for me is currently in progress.

What can you be grateful for today and everyday?
