Can you see the holiness in these things you take for granted – a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding whats good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul. Rabbi Harold Kushne
Even on my worst days, I find at least five things I’m grateful for and I write them down. On my worst days, I often have to look very, very hard to find those 5 things but I do it and I know my life is better for it.
Today I am grateful for 3 eggs from 8 chickens on a cold day when we are approaching the shortest day of the year – only 9 hours and 13 minutes of light today and yes, chickens do need light to lay!
It doesn’t make any difference whether it’s the first thing you do in the morning or the last thing at night or somewhere in between, just do it, Look for Gratitude.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. Marcus Tillius Cicero, Roman orator and statesman
Let me know what you find.
