Someone taught me this phrase once, Put some gratitude in your attitude" It was nice to read those two words in your poem. I knew they sounded familiar. What a nice one, important to do and a great reminder too. I liked it so much.

Thank you so much Heidi! I am so grateful for your up-lifting message - lovely words of compliment! I love your gratitude jar and that you go back and look at your experiences gratitude of the past year on New Years Day! That is definitely Spirit inspired! Every night, no matter what has happened during the day, I try to find at least one things to be grateful for each day. I usually fall asleep before I finish my list! Sending you blessings of gratitude.

Hi Jo! Thank you! It's so easy to get caught up in what we strive for that I think we stop seeing all of the blessings! This quietus was a reminder to me to stop and remember all the blessings in my life! Blessings to you. So grateful for your wonderful feedback.
