On this morning’s walk, my husband and I were talking about the day ahead. He made a comment about staying positive about life and that he wants to recognize that for which he’s grateful. It’s a perfect way to begin the day; getting exercise, spending quality time with one another, and setting our intention for the day.
The truth is, it would be very easy to miss the opportunity to count our blessings, and in the process skip our chance to choose joy over worry. Our days tend to blend in, one to the other, as we pass through our habitual motions. We practice our habits, the good ones and the bad ones, as a matter of course throughout each day without really considering them.
Sometimes, we are jarred awake by something extreme – a friend passes away, or someone gets sick – and that’s when we remember to count our blessings. It’s our nature to take things for granted until we’re reminded not to.
Today, I’m feeling light and joyful – abundantly grateful for the life I’ve created. And not because I’ve suffered an extreme, but because it is my new choice, each and every day.
My cup runneth over…
