Gratitude and Thankfulness

I know we passed Thanksgiving but I'm trying to live my whole year (life) in thankfulness. Have you ever thought of ways to live in gratitude vs. attitude? There are so many ways to be thankful. Most are small tasks, take minutes and let you appreciate each and every day a bit more!

Keep a daily gratitude journal and write down things you are thankful for. A friend once wrote down that she was thankful for my daughter's smile and that just melts my heart.

Express your gratitude to others by saying a simple "thank you" with a smile or even writing a thank you note or text.

Show your gratitude by doing something kind for someone else or volunteering your time. I find when you give of yourself - it seems like you actually get it back! 10 fold!

Finally, just take a moment to appreciate the small things in life, like a Colorado sunset or a hug from a friend.

Our world can be pretty thankless at times. Remember to look around and appreciate all that God gives us! I'm thankful for YOU and my awesome job. The people I get to meet. The pictures I get to take. Enjoy this Christmas to the fullest!
