Gratitude is YOURS




When I first started counting my blessings, it looked somewhat like this:


Thank you God for:


1. A banana Split shared 3 ways on a hot summer afternoon.


2. For fresh water to quench my thirst.


3. For fresh idea's to quench my mind.


4. For "signs".


5. For the Tao.


I give thanks.



The only thing that has changed since I first began to count my blessings, is that it sometimes feels impossible to narrow it down to just 5.


I could literally be here all day.


God, thank you for gratitude. Living a life of THANKS and APPRECIATION has renewed my tired spirit, and is slowly waking up my sleepy soul.


I could not ask for more.


The gift of a heart full of gratitude is there for everyone...it is a gift to you, also. All you have to do, is graciously accept it.


All my love,

Elle
