I love this dose of inspiration from Grateful Living:

There’s a lot to unpack in that short sentence.

“Release expectation” – it’s easier said than done. We spend a lot of time thinking about, worrying about, maybe even getting bitter about, what should’ve happened.

“Invite appreciation” – anyone who has spent any amount of time in a third world country knows we’ve got it really good. Our basic needs are met… and so much more. Most of us truly have abundance – we just have a hard time admitting it.

“All the moments of our lives” – the fresh cup of coffee (if you’re into that), the sunlight peeking through the trees, the song you love so much on the radio (if you’re into radio), the water cooler conversation with one of your work buddies, the squirrel making the mad dash across the street as you drive home, the clouds that look like elephants, the greeting from the dog (if you’re into dogs)…

“Openings and opportunities” – Every hour offers 3600 moments to savor; every day gives us a million reasons to be grateful.

“It is what it is.” And what it is, is a beautiful thing called life.

Have a great (and grateful) day!
