Write 5 things each day that you are grateful for. Some days this will be really easy, and other days you will have to think really hard. But always search for those things you are grateful for because they are always there. Today was a challenging day for me to come up with 5 things. I found myself really searching, but I did find them. Please don't laugh at these, as silly or funny as they may seem. I really am grateful for them. And sometimes it's the simplest things that make life better.
1) I'm grateful for chapstick.
2) I am grateful for my trials, because they are giving me the opportunity to discover how strong I really am.
3) I am grateful for the strength I am finding to overcome my trials.
4) I’m grateful for crying, because it helps me release a lot of frustration when I am having a hard time.
5) I'm grateful for gum.
I am discovering again that it's all a matter of perspective sometimes. It really is how you choose to look at things each day that determine the quality of your life. I could be angry that I cried yet again today for probably the 10th time, or look at how crying is helping me release my unpleasant emotions. I could be angry that I have trials, or I can look at the strength I am drawing from those trials. Try this each day and discover the power that an attitude of gratitude can bring to your life.
