today i am grateful for ….

gratitude journal

Hello, lovely readers. I am back after a somewhat unplanned break over the Christmas season. I never intend to take as much time off as I end up doing when my kids are off of school but reality usually dictates that my time and energy are needed elsewhere. My family are obviously a wonderful priority for me and I am happy to give them all of myself when I need to. Still, it is always nice (if a bit difficult!) to get back to a regular working schedule. Today I am grateful for being back to work and beginning what I know is going to be a year full of opportunity and joy for myself and my family.

today i am grateful for all of the people who take the time to regularly visit this website and also for those who come by via Google or another search engine, i am grateful for the growth of the site over the past few months and i look forward to its continued development, i am grateful for new ideas and for old ideas coming to fruition, for being lucky enough to pursue projects that inspire me, for being a part of a relationship which is encouraging and inspiring, for the belief that i am doing the exact thing that i want and am meant to be doing, for intention, for letting go, for the people i love and for them loving me back.

I would also like to say that my thoughts are with anyone who does not feel that 2011 is off to such a great start for them. I have recently learned that someone close to me has been going through an incredibly traumatic event in her life and I know that feeling gratitude under those circumstances must be an incredible challenge. But I also know that looking for and finding gratitude in even the simplest of things brings light into your life and renders the darkness a little less powerful. Though it may not always be easy, I hope that you can find joy in your life and allow your light to shine on even the darkest days.
