    Friday Five: Attitude of Gratitude

    October 16, 2015 /3 Comments

     One of the things I’ve been thinking about and practicing lately is to look for things to be grateful for. It is so easy to get caught up in problems and issues. I’ve found it harder to find gratitude in my daily life. Keeping a gratitude journal is one way to be thankful for each day. However, this is a journal that I struggle to keep. A suggestion for this journal is to write three things each evening before bed. I tend to forget. This is my alternative.

    I created several goals for myself this year. Most are still a work in progress, while some aren’t really working. It will be interesting to see how things end up as the year continues. One of these areas was health. I had in mind to exercise a bit more, find balance and discover what was going on with me, health wise. At this point in the year I haven’t truly achieved this goal at all. However, I have worked on it. The problems I was having, I have found answer to, though another issue has reared its ugly head, AGAIN. It is my belief that many of our ailments are…
