Gratitude

'We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.'  -  Cynthia Ozick

'Don't take anything for granted - not one smile, or one person, or one rainbow, or one breath, or one night in your cozy bed.'  -  Terri Guillemets

I started juicing every morning (well, most mornings).  I took my first sip of juice yesterday and then out of habit reached to turn on the TV, but something stopped me. 

Instead of filling my head with the morning news,

Grateful

I found this quote online, but couldn't find who originally wrote it.  I textured this photo with the Kim Klassen texture simple.

I found this quote yesterday and it really hit home.  I have a very good life, but some days it is easier to complain rather than be grateful for things in my life.  From the weather to the grumpy clerk at the grocery store, there is plenty I could complain about.  

However, I noticed on the days when I start seeing the good and say a mental thank you, I start seeing even more to be thankful for.    Then I recognize, really recognize, my life is full of things to be grateful for.

Today I am linking up with Kim Klassen’s Friday Finds.  

Have a great weekend!
