“Gratitude comes easily when our lives are in order-when the bills are paid, the children are behaving, our health is good.  But our challenges are what bring the chance for transformation.  And it is for our deepest pain that we can be most grateful, because we know our hardship will deliver a lesson that refines our character.  As you practice gratitude this month, give thanks not only for what you have but also for what you have escaped.  When difficulties arise, ask yourself, “What is the lesson in this for me in this?”  And when you can give thanks in the midst of your trial, know that you are becoming your finest.” ~ OPRAH MAGAZINE, NOVEMBER 2000

I am grateful today for:

• The magic of the colors in the sky
• the shapes and patterns that the clouds form
• The abundance that I experienced today from Chris at our growers market
• The wonderful fresh salad greens of cos, spinach and rocket- yummy
• The love I have in my life
• The clarity that is coming as I am trusting my higher self to guide me

What Are You Grateful for Today?
