Today I am Grateful for:

Spirituality. Every day I am so thankful that I found my spiritual path. For so many years I was on auto-pilot and didn't even think that there was something greater than myself. I believed there was nothing. Even on my worst day now do I ever think that there isn't something out there greater than me. Sure it ebbs and flows, but I have seen the miracles in my life that I cannot ignore. That is when I sit myself down and look at the proof.

Belief in me. To be able to not indulge in the negative thinking I have done for most of my life about myself. To stop and be grateful for what I have and what I have accomplished, especially in the last 18 months. I am so grateful my eyes have been opened to a better way of life.

People in my life. I am grateful for all the people in my life. Even the ones that rub me the wrong way. They are gifts or lessons in my life. I am learning that they are my higher powers way to make things happen in my life that I can't do for myself. I realize they are examples to learn by. Some people can be an example of how I don't want to be or how I do not want to treat another person. They are the writing on the wall.

To be able to say yes. I write about this a lot because I am the king of saying no. I am learning to say yes and I am seeing how it is having a positive influence in my life. When I say no, it's attached to the old me that would just turn around and go put chemicals into my body and dream of bigger things that never came. I am slowly realizing there are hidden opportunities when I say yes. It may not be directly in when I say yes at that moment, but it appears it's just a door opening up for more. I am so grateful I willing to change.
