What a great day to fall in love with the idea of gratitude. Gratitude seems to make everything a little sweeter. Gratitude turns what we have in to plenty and more. Gratitude unlocks the door to a richness that was unseen before. Gratitude turns acquaintances in to friends, a meal into a feast. It seems to cause the world to shine a little brighter, it turns willingness in to action and brings to the light of day to all the little lies we tell our selves. Simple thanks for each annoyance can bring insight rather than judgment. A thankful heart somehow makes sense of our past and relieves us of regret; it brings peace in to the present moment and inspires hope for a brighter tomorrow. To fall in love with Gratitude is to bring to our visage and kindness and gentleness that can be seen by every one. It encourages our core values to rise to every occasion. To think of Love first, to trust in each other and to trust in our selves, truth is another character asset of gratitude and when we are thankful our only thought is to share what we have found. Giving becomes a priority for no other reason than simply to give.  Life becomes effortless when proper order is restored to the mind. Not the gray matter that sits between a pair of ears but the mind we share the true power in the universe, where each and every stranger appears as a long awaited friend, happy is the day that is filled with Gratitude.
