It’s Sunday night. December 28. Three days after the big day. Christmas gifts and meals are opened and eaten.
Just a few more days left in 2014.
Sometimes there’s a bit of a letdown after the glitter is gone.
So … what is there to be Happy About? Especially if you’re alone? Or sick? Or frustrated? Or angry? Or not where you wanna be?
To be honest, I don’t know.
BUT I encourage you to do this: Go on a Gratitude Rampage. Start listing — or just thinking about — what you have to be grateful for as 2014 wanes.
Go ahead — try it. Make a list.
Here’s a tad of mine:
1. Air to breathe.
2. Legs that help me to walk.
3. Imperfect family members.
4. A mind that allows me to think.
5. Shoes.
6. Eyesight.
7. Collard greens (I just sautéed some for dinner).
8. Music.
9. Sunshine.
10. Cinnamon.
11. Grandchildren.
12. People who know my name.
13. Insurance.
14. Roaring laughter.
15. Pecans.
This list could go on and on.
May peace, joy and love be your portion now and forever!
Gratitude is powerful. Try it and see how it makes you feel.
