I believe that what we focus on expands and with that thought, I want to create more of what I am grateful for.

I just found a fabulous new gratitude tool on-line and want to pass it on to you.  It is called the “GRATITUDE LOG” ,  you can create an account for free and write down what you are grateful for.  If you get your friends/family to sign up you can send them appreciation notes to show your gratitude.  So let’s all share a little love!

Sometimes through grieving we can’t seem to find gratitude through our tears and sorrow, and you know what that’s OK for now – give yourself a reasonable amount of time. You will search your soul and find many things to be grateful for when you are ready, remember to focus on those still in your life, and the many blessings you have everyday such as a job that provides security and money, a home you have to shelter you, food on your table perhaps an animal that brings you joy and comfort.  Yes, there are still many things to be thankful for during this holiday season even if you are grieving, and if you can focus your eyes on what is still here I guarantee you will some comfort in that.

Bless you and those you love.

Here is a great on-line gratitude log that is free, check it out:  www.gratitudelog.com
