How to add gratitude to your days

“When nothing is expected, and everything is appreciated, all becomes magical.” ― Broms The Poet, Feast

Today in the garden, the sunshine broke through the clouds revealing a landscape buzzing with possibilities. I marveled at the joy of spotting a bee flying from flower to flower.

Appreciating every moment in life brings miracles.

Even waiting in the car for my son this afternoon was a beautiful moment. I noticed the field coming alive as the sunshine poured its love upon the grass.

Memories of dry grass, heat waves, and forest fires last summer made me fall in love with the rain this spring. Although part of my heart pined for a clear day, each droplet of water was a prayer answered.

When we choose to appreciate everything, no matter how small, magic appears before us. Gratitude is the key to living a life of beauty.

In his book, The Abundance Project, Derek Rydell encourages us to be thankful for areas we find less desirable. It may be challenging, but you will see positive results.

The next level is to consciously give thanks for the areas that you’re struggling in…To work on this area, you start methodically blessing it and expressing gratitude for it, without knowing why. -Derek Rydell

An example of appreciating something challenging brings to mind my former manager at work. I felt gratitude for her even when I wished for more communication or encouragement.

Suddenly, she decided to leave, and a wonderful new person appeared in her place. The new manager encourages creativity, teamwork, and organization. It is a dream come true!
