In giving thanks, my heart begins to refocus. I count gifts - the blessings I may have missed in the busyness, and I look ahead with an eager heart.
Gratitude... a sort of coffee for the soul.

ReplyDeleteDelighted to meet you today. Hope you don't mind if I splash around for a bit. This looks like a refreshing place to slip off my shoes and soak in some goodness.
Splashing,

Lovely post, Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteI join you in gratitude for greek yogurt...I eat it everyday! For snow cones, I love them but have been staying away from them because I am trying to lose a couple of pounds for my daughter's wedding. For lives well lived.
I loved what you said about Gratitude being a sort of coffee for the soul...how true!
grace and peace
