Since the beginning of 2014 I've been pondering what my "word" of the year should be. I'm sure you all have seen these posts on other bloggers' sites ... a word is chosen to focus on during the year, one to remind you of what you should concentrate on.
Well my word finally came to my mind last night as I pondered what to write for this post.
"Gratitude"
I thought of starting a list of all the things I was grateful for, but then every day those things I am grateful for may switch and fluctuate. Yes, yes ... there are some days I am extremely grateful for some of the same things ... my daughters ... and then an hour later I could be grateful for time away from my daughters ... so my list would be ever changing. How about just accepting that I live my life being grateful for what I have when I have it?
I believe it's called living with an attitude of gratitude ...
The thing is, if I made a list, there's a chance I'd miss something or someone that I'm grateful for ... the hot water in my shower, the food in my fridge ... the fact that I have food in my fridge, the friends that are there when I need them most, the men and women serving our country, and well ...each and every day with so very many blessings where does a person start?
Don't get me wrong ~ I'm truly no "Pollyanna" ~ trust me! There are days when I really have to remind myself of all that I should be grateful for. Again, this makes me grateful for the people and things that bring me back from unpleasantness with the simplest of things ... a message, a picture, a post ... a smile.
Smiles are important!!
Share one today if you haven't already!!
I will end this post with the announcement of the winner of the She Who Sews basket:
