The beginning of a new year or new month is a great time to take an inventory of our lives and our assets, like good health, loving family, comfortable home, pets who provide comfort, and good food to sustain us.  We are also blessed with wonderful friends who care about us and share our lives. But there is more…

As you become more aware of all there is to be grateful for take note, write it down in a journal or start a gratitude jar – writing down even the smallest thing like flowers picked by your grand-daughter, the sound of children laughing, the smell of your favorite shampoo or bath soap, a favorite song playing on the radio.

And then take another glance at your life and give thanks. Let your heart be open.

until next time…
