Gratefulness

I'm starting a 100 day challenge tomorrow - a commitment to spending no less than 5 minutes each day meditatively focused on being grateful. I try to live each day aware of how blessed I am, and give thanks for it. Some days life gets busy or ugly or sad or mad. All of the feelings that come with that are legit - but it is possible to also be thankful for the good stuff. A cat purr, a pretty bird, a sunbeam. None of our emotions are mutually exclusive - we might feel all of them on any given day. Sometimes at the same time. That is OK. And today, in this moment, I am thankful for you and hope the Mr & Mrs Mallard photo brings a bit of a smile to your day.
