“Express gratitude for the greatness in small things.” Richie Norton
What small thing are you grateful for today?
Finding Gratitude in Hard Things—-
Even coming off of Covid, (again!) With a migraine, in terrible pain from fibromyalgia and neuropathy, in a lupus flare—how do I find gratitude?
1. I am alive! And oh, how much I love life!
2. I am surrounded by friends and family who love me!
3. I have a God shows me each day that He cares and pours out his love to me! I see His miracles all around me!
4. And I am thankful for each working part of my body, for, although I have many parts which do not work, I have so many more which do work and work hard to keep me alive each day.
My list can go on and on and on because my heart is full of gratitude!
What are you thankful for today?
your blessings
Spent the weekend with my adorable granddaughter….what a joy! Wendy
“When circumstances change from good and positive to bad and negative, we can still be happy because happiness does not depend on the circumstances but on our attitude toward the circumstances.”
This quote is a great reminder to me that when I feel overwhelmed by any circumstance in life, if I just step back, change my view of the situation, look at it through the eyes of gratitude, suddenly my perspective shifts! I feel a great surge of happiness just to be alive and have people who care for me and a God who loves me so unfailingly and unceasingly!
Quote: The Eternal Principle of Love, Elder Hugo Montoya, Oct. 2023
What has put a smile on your face today? If it is someone special to you….tag them!
I love gardening:
Planting from seeds or starts,
watching them sprout, sending their roots to dig into in rich, dark soil and begin to take their first breaths of life as they push towards the sky,
nurturing the plants with love, water, nutrients and sunlight as they continue to active new heights,
witnessing the plants enjoy dancing in the rain, 
showering both God and the plants with my love and my gratitude bringing me and the world such beauty and abundance!
And when the plants begin producing such beautiful flowers and/or delicious produce, I feel so full of gratitude and joy and so richly blessed that my harvesting bucket is overflowing.
Sharing my bountiful harvest with others is a wonderful way for me to share with others some of the gratitude to God I feel and the joy and abundance my plants bring!
Such is the I feel about the journey of my children:
I loved watching them at the beginning of their life, breathe their first breaths, take the first steps,  and plant their souls into rich dark soil of their own unique personalities,
I loved nurturing their growth with healthy food, water, love, teaching, enriching experiences and social activities, and helping them establish a strong spiritual connection to God.
I loved witnessing the unique dance of their personality, opinions and personal experiences.
and when they began producing fruit and flowers of wisdom and light, my joy and gratitude for them and to God filled my and harvesting bucket to overflowing!
Sending my children out into the world once they were grown, my ‘cherished harvest’, was a wonderful way for me to share with others the gratitude to God I feel, and the joy and abundance my children bring to me!
