Each Friday I write about the things that I experience that I am grateful for. I have been doing this for about six months and it is a practice that I don't think I will ever stop. When you take the time to appreciate the world around you and the beauty that it holds if you look for it, life is so much simpler and easier. Everyone has times in their lives that are hard and for some life is much harder than for others. I realize that and appreciate how lucky I am. But I really believe that there is something to be grateful for, for all of us each day. It could be the sunrise or sunset, it could be a smile on a stranger's face or a kind word from a friend. It could be a great cup of coffee, a jog in the park or a walk through the city streets. It could be so many simple things. I have come to realize that once you do notice the simple but special moments, they begin to multiply while the worrisome things begin to diminish. This week I am grateful for all of the things I mentioned above and so much more. I would love to begin a movement where we all take the time to notice and share with the world the things that we are grateful for. So won't you join me in this movement and share what you are grateful for this week?

I am grateful for the realization that the people who really know me and love me count so much more than the ones who know me in passing and make snap judgments. Granted, the second category is LOUDER, but the whisper in the ear is the voice that counts the most.
