Practicing Gratefulness

One of the important things I've learned over the last year is how powerful it is to make time each day to give thanks for something I'm grateful for. Like any kind of practice, it can seem hard at first. But over time it becomes quite natural, and I've found my own ways of helping to build this into part of of my day.

One is by subscribing to the website, gratefulness.org, to receive their Word For The Day: an inspiring and uplifting quotation from a range of thinkers and writers. Another is through my entries here in Blipfoto - it makes me stop for a moment, however busy I may be, and look at what has been happening in my world today that I want to capture in a photo and celebrate in some way.

And of course there's always the sun rising - so simple and everyday , but so worthwhile being grateful for.
