gratitude & happiness – Creations By Cathy

Some days are just so easy to be grateful for.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing their happiest little song and you have leftovers in the refrigerator for dinner. Life is good.

Today was simply not one of those days.

It is so hard to see those that we love struggle. We feel their pain; we cry their tears. We want to “fix” things… but we can’t. So tonight I go to bed with a heavy heart. And yet, even so, I realize something very important – I have so much to be thankful for. So I will quiet my mind in the silence and be thankful for my many, many blessings. My prayer is for everyone that needs a hug tonight. I will pray for your blessings tomorrow.

In gratitude… live happy

Ever had one of those days when something stops you dead in your tracks… Maybe you were kinda, sorta expecting it; often times it comes out of nowhere and pulls the rug out from under you. These are the times that we are called to pause and quiet ourselves in a way that allows us to absorb the world around us. Sometimes we need these moments of reflection to remind us of where we are, who we are and where we are going. Did we stop this morning to count our many blessings? Did we love the ones that we love? Did we make someone laugh or smile; show kindness to a stranger or put someone else’s needs before our own…?

I am incredibly blessed in my life, and I will go to bed tonight with a feeling of deep gratitude for all that I love… live happy
