I go through periods where I don't post a lot, but I always show up at least once a week so I can write that one. Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I go back through those posts and am always impressed to find so much beauty in my life.

It is centering for me and sometimes this practice makes 'the glass half empty' girl into a 'glass half full' girl. I think that is awesome.

But, after reading your post, I'm also thinking that gratitude can be more immediate, as in, I'm grateful that when I fell this morning (because I was rushing around the house) that I didn't hurt myself!Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438414339444169303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-45663557650036855622017-11-02T11:08:20.523-04:002017-11-02T11:08:20.523-04:00Everyday...try to focus on the good!

I have a dear friend who has been living with stage 4 ovarian cancer for the past six years and she has taught me so much about gratitude and living life to the fullest in spite of difficult circumstances.
