Gratitude

My friend Pat is posting a gratitude each day on Facebook. What a wonderful idea! I know how much a daily gratitude practice deepens my perspective and elevates my mood. I am not sure I will post every day, but I will focus on restoring my daily practice. In one study, they found remembering 3 blessings a day elevated the mood of chronically depressed adults. I am not depressed, but I tend to lose myself in daily tasks, planning and the mundane. I need to remember how much I have to be grateful for...

Today I am grateful that I had time for a quiet cup of tea, journaling and a good conversation with my husband.
