{gratitude}

I think that too often people forget all the things they have to be grateful for.

I know that personally I sometimes dwell on things I have no control over

and let that get me down.

However, I am more and more realizing that I have an amazing life,

full of amazing people and opportunity.

Occasionally I write a list of things I am grateful for

and have come to find how inspiring it is to do so.

These are a few things I am currently grateful for however small they may be:

A hot shower and clean water to drink.

A warm bed with freshly washed sheets.

My faith in God, that I know can get me through any hard times.

A wonderful family that supports me and always loves me.

My obsession with Nail Polish....as silly as it sounds it is always a sure way to cheer me up.

The ability to read whatever books I want to read and believe what I choose to.

My sweet fiance, who is always making me smile.

The ability to go to the grocery store and buy food to cook for dinner.

A glass of wine with good friends and great conversation.

The beauty of a sunny spring day and how it can completely change your outlook.

This life is a beautiful thing.

We should all spend more time recognizing the little things that make it so worth living!
