This week, I was reading my newest addition of Reader's Digest (yes, it is one of several mags I receive—do NOT laugh). Inside there was an article on the art of living with a gratitude attitude, and this completely struck a chord with me! Lately, it seems everyone around me, myself included, has been complaining about myriad items. It's so easy to fall into that trap, and so I've been actively trying to escape from it. Then at church on Sunday we talked about finding Jesus in our lives and living a joyful existence through Him. That really cemented my desire to overcome this obstacle of complaining.
Well, I found my answer! GRATITUDE ATTITUDE!
Being a self-proclaimed writer, I have decided to write down something I am grateful for every single day. That way, instead of drowning in a sea of complaints, I can instead float on the warm waves of gratitude.
I thought I'd share a few things I am grateful for here:
1. God's blessing of a family
2. Ava's smile
3. The way Hudson reaches up and touches my face
4. Erik's sense of humor
5. The fact that The Gaslight (my favorite pizza place) has returned in Huntingburg, after fire damage, bigger and better than ever
