Day #21 - It all comes down to...

Gratitude...I know I spent a year on it, but it keeps coming back in many forms. My sister Melissa blogged about a book called "the Magic"...it is all about Gratitude and gives 28 days of instruction on how to make gratitude a priority in your life. Today I picked out a rock to hold in my hand at the end of each day and think back to pick the BEST thing that happened that day...EASY...I picked "lunch with my friend Louise"...She has been a friend and confidant for the last 10 years. We had a great time and it was such a good break for me.

What is the purpose of the rock?? It is based on a story, but I think the purpose is to give you a visual and physical reminder to remember...I purposely picked a rock from my flower beds since that is such a source of joy and accomplishment for me. When I brought it inside to wash the dirt off it, there was one side that was rough and pitted...I kind of like that the rock isn't perfectly smooth. It has imperfections, just like I do.

This rock is big enough to hold in my hand, feel the weight, the smoothness and the imperfections that also make it perfect. For the next 27 days I will hold it in my had before I go to sleep and pick the best part of my day to reflect on and to give thanks for.

I Am Grateful,
