Being Grateful
"The benefits of practicing gratitude are nearly endless. People who regularly practice gratitude by taking time to notice and reflect upon the things they're thankful for experience more positive emotions, feel more alive, sleep better, express more compassion and kindness, and even have stronger immune systems. And gratitude doesn't need to be reserved only for momentous occasions: Sure, you might express gratitude after receiving a promotion at work, but you can also be thankful for something as simple as a delicious piece of pie. Research by UC Davis psychologist Robert Emmons, author of Thanks!: How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier, shows that simply keeping a gratitude journal—regularly writing brief reflections on moments for which we’re thankful—can significantly increase well-being and life satisfaction."

During Valentine's Day I was reflecting how many things to be grateful and thankful for...nature, hearing the birds, sunrises, sunsets, stars, the list goes on and of all the beautiful things God has created!!! Most importantly, I am so grateful and thankful for my husband, my family, my friends and of course God/Jesus!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you❣️
