Day Thirty-Five – Gratitude, a way of life - - This year life challenged me more than it ever has before. It brought many challenges my way, a lot of which I didn’t think I could deal with or get pass. With all of the challenges it brought it gave me a life like. Universal messages and gratitude were my life line. From the beautiful sunflowers outside my window that made me smile every morning I saw them, to the butterflies flying around my yard and being messages of transformation, strength, help and light, to the messages of expressing gratitude daily, they were my saving grace and the reasons I was able to keep going during a time I wanted to stand still and fall apart. - - Gratitude had to become a way of life for me. When gratitude becomes our way of life it consumes us and we express it all the time. It fills our thoughts and guides our actions throughout the day. It is our first expression every day and our last expression every night. Being grateful and expressing that gratitude has to become so much a part of who we are that we can’t get through a day without taking the time to be and express gratitude, whether it’s to someone who did something good or nice for us or whether it is for some other thing that we either saw or experienced that made our day even the slightest bit better, even if it’s just a flower we see that made us smile. As a way of life gratitude becomes an automatic response, a movement and expression of the heart that flows as a result of being touched. #40daysofgratitude #40daysofgratitude2017 #gratitude #gratefulheart #Gratefulnesshabit #grateful #thankful #givingthanks #giving #photos #photography #graphics #graphicdesigner #graphicdesign #photographer #positivevibes #motivation #motivational #gratefulness #thanks #snow
