Gratitude.....makes the world go round....

Tonight I am feeling 'gratitude' and realizing that we often get so busy with our lives we forget the things for which we should be grateful!



A call from a friend, a note in the mail, an email from someone we knew years ago, a child who holds our hand, a teenager who gives us a hug (in public!).......gratitude.......



It is so easy to get caught up in our routines and activities......juggling too many things in too little time......we get busy 'reacting' and wondering how we can get everything in with so little time......one thing leads to another and before we know it the day....the week...the month.....the year has gone by and we have forgotten to be grateful for where we are, who we are with, what we have....right here...and right now.....



Today I am grateful...grateful for good friends in my life! Grateful for caring children! Grateful for health and well-being! Grateful that the phone rings and it's the caring voice of a friend. Grateful for being alive to be able to enjoy the beauties of the world around me.....my family, my friends.....it's a wonderful place to be!!
