Gratitude

Quite a few years ago, when my life was in upheaval, I learned the simple practice of gratitude. Although I had two healthy, successful children, a good job, and many advantages, I did not know how to be truly grateful. So I decided to practice. I realized my first progress when I looked at the gas gauge in my car and felt true gratitude, from my heart, that I could afford gasoline.

Since that moment, I start most days with a gratitude list. It changes my perspective and gives me a good day, no matter what.

Today I am grateful that a record number of Americans voted. I’m also grateful for a beautiful sunrise.
