I'm grateful for acceptance of things I cannot change! Haha :) One of those being that the internet is down today so thank you for your patience as I post from my phone! I'm grateful to wake calm and not let these little hiccups rattle me. So often we get caught up in what "needs" to be done and sometime life has other plans. And sometimes dogs have other plans. I'm grateful to acknowledge my dog's needs for affection even when it means postponing my meditation. I'm grateful to put love above schedule. How can you go with the flow today? What are you grateful for?

I'm grateful for myself today! While this is very true, I have a hard time typing that because there is that fear of being vain. But today I am making a stand against this false belief because I feel it is very important to honor and be grateful for ourselves! So today I am grateful for my strength, my kindness, my beauty, and my playfulness. I am also grateful for my weaknesses and the things I perceive as flaws because it is both sides, the "good" and the "bad", that make me who I am. I'm grateful for my fears and frustrations that teach me so much about myself. I'm grateful for my innocence and my creativity and most of all I am grateful for the love and compassion I give myself!  What are you grateful for about yourself? How can you honor yourself today?

I'm grateful for the little things that excite me and amuse me! I'm grateful that the moth in this picture looks like a bunny to me and makes me laugh! I'm grateful for trains and planes and bridges that I enjoy so much! I'm grateful for straw wrappers that are paper. I'm grateful for a cell phone to call my friends when I need advice or want to share a laugh. I'm grateful for the deliciousness served at Panera Bread. I'm grateful for the birds that swoop by the window and perform for me as I work. I'm grateful to live in the same city as my big brother. I'm grateful for my hands that do SO much for me each day and allow me to work in the ways I choose so that I can help people. I'm grateful for internet so I can share with more people! I am grateful for so many things that I can not imagine listing all of them here. My heart is full of love and joy! When was the last time you stopped to think of all the little things you are grateful for? We are so blessed!

I'm so grateful to Café Gratitude for hosting my photography for the last 2 months! I'm so grateful for a place to eat that serves affirmations along with quality food! I'm grateful for people that surround themselves with positive thoughts and loving people! Live the change you want to see in this world. I'm so grateful to be living to help others and I'm grateful for all of the people that support me in all my endeavors to carry this out! As I prepare to take down my photography this morning at Café Gratitude, I'm so grateful for the opportunity that they provided for me to get some more exposure. Thank you so much! And thank you to all the people who came in to see my exhibit! Are you living the change you want to see? Do you

I'm grateful to sleep with the window open and wake to birds chirping! I'm grateful to have a house full of family! I'm grateful for delicious breakfast and a sweet mom who is a great hostess! I'm grateful to go to church today and see some of my spiritual family. I'm grateful for the beautiful day ahead! How will you enjoy your world today? What are some of your favorite things to be grateful for

I'm grateful for a lazy day, sitting around visiting with family! I'm grateful to finally have some of my rock questions answered by my uncle!!! I'm grateful for this moment :)

I'm grateful for the beautiful weather we have been having and the cooler temperatures I woke up to today! There is something so peaceful to me about the cool morning, the promise of Fall. It is like that peacefulness of sunset before the stars appear. I'm grateful for the beauty of this silence. I believe that everything I see around me is a reflection of myself but today I will be a reflection of the stillness of this morning. I'm so grateful to wake slowly and sit peacefully. I'm grateful 

I'm grateful for a nice warm shower to kick of my morning! It may have been a long night but a nice shower can always reset the day. I'm grateful to wake up to a house full of family laughing and talking! I'm grateful for the possibility of rain today to help nourish my garden. I'm grateful for water in all it's many forms and I'm grateful to live in a place where I have access to it. It is such a simple thing that can be easily overlooked but today I am so grateful for all the forms of water. What everyday things are you grateful for today? What things, that you normally take for granted, can you take the time to notice and be grateful for today? 

I'm grateful to be having such a productive morning! I'm grateful for all the joy I find in baking! I'm grateful for the day of work ahead. And last but not least I am grateful to have family coming to visit!!! I'm so happy to get to see them! 

I'm so grateful for all the choices in my life right now! I'm grateful to be able to see fairly clearly the different options that are available for me! As one job steadily increases I get to choose just how busy of a schedule I will keep and when I need to listen to my body and take a break. It also helps me reevaluate which work avenues I enjoy most and which ones I can let go. I'm also grateful to take a deep breath and know that I am always supported in these decisions. Everything I need is available to me. What choices will you make today? Which path do you want to travel? 
Side note: I'm also grateful for a picture that has both train tracks AND a creek! I'm grateful to have been there at such a beautiful view point and I'm grateful to be so easily awed!
