Gratitude

  
 Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” — William Arthur Ward

   Gratitude is amazing thing. Think about it, how a simple thank you can change everything. When a small child tells you thank you, my heart smiles. That small thank you catches you by surprise and you think about for all day. I handed my cute grandson who is 18 months a phone and he says "thank you" and its the simpliest thing I have done for him. I love having him around and having him with us makes both Kevin and I smile.
   For along time I try really hard not to be ungrateful. Ungratefulness is not a pretty thing. If someone is trying to do things my way and they are not. At least they are trying. Right?

Gratitude has been linked to increased levels of happiness and life satisfaction. Giving thanks is one of the most powerful tools that leads to happiness.

. “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” — Marcel Proust

 “We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” — Cynthia Ozick
Isn't it funny how we take for granted that the people in our lives and the things in our lives will always be there.
