Gratitude - Week 38

"Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty." ~Doris Day

Gratitude: Week 38 (March 12 - March 18)

In my attempts to embrace each step of this journey with gratitude I am uncovering how to be present. Transforming the search for the next thing to being in the moment. Resisting the urge to fill the calendar and then seek calm or discover days of quiet to only crave noise.

"We are so busy watching out for what is ahead of us that we don't take the time to enjoy where we are."

I began the year determined to cross things off a list, reach goals, make pace, lose weight, detailing all the intentions I had for the year, even joy becoming a task to check off.

But as I approach the changing seasons I am recognizing the changes within and the transformation to now instead of what's next. No longer hurried to cross things off a list and learning to embrace the moment.

Slowly these words build the cadence of my life. Calm, simplify, being present, and enjoying the moment. The power of now, of being present and enjoying each step of the journey. Finding the good, feeling the joy and recognizing the gratitude in all the areas of my life, especially in the present.

From the list...

Week 38: Music you love

I love all music and how it returns you to long forgotten memories. Lately, The Garth channel is my most frequent choice or when I am with Deb, the 70's station.
