Gratitude for 2014

I am amazed that I have not written in this blog since April 2013. I have no reason why, but something I read today made me realize it was time to get back to it.

Each evening, and each morning, I journal. Before I go to sleep, I sit in my bed and write 3 things that I am grateful for that day. I follow that with my thoughts or words, sort of a visioning exercise. My morning ritual consists of journaling followed by meditation. More often than not, my morning journaling is more extensive and detailed. This has worked for me, except for those days when..well..it doesnt! Those days are usually the ones in which I find myself up against something-a tough time. Although I KNOW there are things to write down, things to be grateful for, my mind dismisses the exercise. So, I have decided that in order to express gratitude, consistency is key! Putting this commitment to consistency out in this public blog will hold me accountable.

So, I am commiting to a gratitude blog daily in 2014. I know this wont always be easy and/or convenient. But Im willing to push through the excuses and make this happen. If you want to join me, please let me know. You wont regret it! I have a feeling about this..I sense an incredible journey awaits.

Today, I am in gratitude for friends..for friends who listen, for friends who hold me accountable, for friends who challenge me to be my best self. I have seen people come into my life in the last couple of years who have blown me away with who they are. I am grateful for this community of aware, loving, conscious, and just damn GOOD people.

So there you have it..Heres to gratitude in 2014. Love & blessings to all.
