Good Morning beautiful people,
Last night was one of those nights!!
I was frustrated, irritated and my whole family was subject to my mood.
When I tucked my kids in for bed, relieved that the day was over, I asked them if we could all try to have a better day tomorrow. Mommy would try to be more patient and kinder with her words and they promised they would put on their listening ears. That is the beautiful thing about children, they forgive you : )
I wanted to start today fresh and optimistic. So, I began focusing on what I was grateful for and it filled me with joy. Gratitude is so much more than just saying the words "Thank You" in a prayer or to another person. Althought that is lovely and important, gratitude goes so much deeper than that. It is a practice; a way of living your life. Gratitude is not just being grateful for the blessings that come your way, but for the trials that build your character and make you stronger too. It is our attitude that makes the day right? If you submit to those frustrations that come your way throughout the day, you are losing sight of your gratitude. Breathe gratitude in and out. Cling to it. Negativity is like a weed that takes over if you let it.
Choose joy and gratitude today. Let it flourish in your life and you will see and feel change.
I love this quote by Kahlil Gibran
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving
Beautiful!!!!
