I have to admit, I am a "list" gal. Making a list each day and crossing each item off makes me happy. I like to set goals and accomplish them. It gives me a sense of purpose. Since moving to the farm, I have had to change the way I look at my lists....

On Gratitude
I read something yesterday...
something so simple, and yet it felt so profound...
These three words kept creeping into my thoughts all day,
and so I decided to share them with you.
After much contemplation,
I have decided that these three words just might be the key to happiness.
Truly!
What would any day look like...
if when we first opened our eyes,
we filled our consciousness with gratitude?
Face it, no matter what our situations,
there is always much to be grateful for.
Think about it.
Make a mental list of things to be grateful for...
start with the big things and then add the small things.
Your list will become amazingly long!
I am truly grateful to be living in a world where all things are possible.
I am grateful for the obvious...health, family, friends, farm...my list is long.
At any given moment I can find something to be grateful for...
like a leftover summer rosebud decorated with the tiniest of spiders' webs
on a sunny November day...
From this day forward,
I am making this my mantra...
Gratitude Changes Everything!
How could it not?
PS...I'm grateful for you!
