Falling into daily patterns is easy. We get caught up in our sadness and let it take over. It's part of what makes us human. However, I recently have discovered something that I've been missing in my life. Gratefulness. We spend time focusing on the bad in our life, so we often miss out on all the good that surrounds us every day. Lately, I've been focusing my energy on finding positivity in my life. Through this process, I realized how much I have to be thankful for. So I'm choosing to thank my God for all he has done for me.
Thank you for my body.
My heart is beating, there's oxygen in my lungs, I am alive. I am physically here at this moment, and that is not due to chance. I am unique from everybody else because I was crafted to be that way. I thank you for allowing me to be authentically myself, in every way.
Thank you for my support system.
The beautiful thing about people is their ability to have such close, personal relationships with one another. We can connect with those around us in ways that bring us so much joy. Thank you, God, for the people that are in my life. I am surrounded by love and human presence that care for me and care for my well-being. Even if I don't realize it at times.
Thank you for my passions.
When I'm pursuing my dreams, I feel connected, and important. Thank you, God, for aligning my interests and opportunities. Knowing that I can continue to explore my passions and grow as an individual, is one of the biggest blessings in my life.
Thank you for your beautiful earth.
From the soft blend of color in the sunset to the sound of rain making contact to the ground, your earth is a beautiful thing. Thank you for placing natural elements in my path to help me notice and admire them. You have taught me to stop, breathe in the smells of life, and appreciate the beauty in everything.
Thank you for the difficult times in my life.
This may seem like a weird thing to be thankful for, but I'm so grateful for the difficult times in my life. They have helped formed me into the person I am today. You were with me through every difficult thing I've experienced, and you gave me the tools and strength to get through them. I have come away from every difficult time of my life with more wisdom and compassion, which are things I know are going to help me grow as a person. Thank you for never leaving my side, and believing in me.
Taking time out of my life to be grateful, has changed my outlook in so many ways. Whatever it is you believe in, just remember to be gracious and thankful for the moments in your life. Fill the universe with your beautiful, genuine, presence. And always remember you are here, for a reason.
