Good Morning Friends! Here are my 5 Things to Consider this week!
Gratitude – I’m taking a break from my usual format this week to consider just one subject, gratitude. I know it’s sort of cliché to talk about being grateful on Thanksgiving, but sometimes we all need a little reminder to take a moment to pause, even briefly, to appreciate the things in life that bring us joy. It doesn’t mean we have to pretend that everything in our lives is perfect and we should forget about the struggles and imperfections, it simply means choosing to focus our time and attention on the things we’re grateful for. Approaching our difficulties from the perspective of gratitude calms our hectic minds and allows us to be present and appreciative of the little things, big and small, that we usually take for granted. You can think of the more ethereal aspects of your life; the fact that you woke up today in a comfortable bed, the fact that warm water flows freely from your faucet or the strong bonds you have with your friends and family. All the way to the more material aspects like; you have a brand new iphone, you look great in the new outfit you treated yourself to or you just got your car detailed and it looks brand new. As we’re aware and thankful for what’s around us, we also cultivate an appreciation for the things that are inside of us. Our own talents, strengths and personality that make us uniquely us. In every struggle there is at least one thing for which you can be grateful for. Pause, reflect and just for a moment today. Reflect gratefully for the things that make this life what it is. Happy Thanksgiving, Friends. I’m truly grateful to know each and every one of you.
Baby Update – William had his first Thanksgiving last week. The gravity of the holiday did not really phase him. He’s still figuring out what his hands do.
