It's Time for a Little Gratitude


As you may be able to tell from my last few posts I've got a serious case of the winter blues. Therefore I've decided it's time for a little gratitude. My next few blogs will be about things I'm grateful for. Today I'm going to start with a list:

* I'm grateful for Jesus Christ my Savior and Redeemer


* I'm grateful for my family, particularly for my wonderful children and grandchildren


* I'm grateful for the animals, particularly birds, and dogs of all shapes and sizes. I believe animals teach us, heal us and love us unconditionally.


* I'm grateful for the earth and the creations upon it particularly trees, grass and the ocean.


* I'm grateful for humanity. I feel the media focuses on the negative, disturbing and evil in the world. It does exist. But in equal measure is the good. I believe most people want to do the right thing and given the opportunity can show incredible courage, empathy and the ability to lift one another.


* I'm grateful for honest work, both the opportunity to work and the ability to appreciate the work of others.


* I'm grateful for art and music. These can touch my soul when I am hard hearted, hurt or empty.


* I'm grateful for Truth and Light. Without these my soul withers.


* I'm grateful for Life. Even though it has been terribly difficult at times I've learned and grown so much.
