Be Grateful........

grate·ful
ˈgrātfəl/
adjective
adjective: grateful
  1. 1.
    feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful.
 
It's that's season...the season of giving thanks.  This Thanksgiving holiday means a ton to me as when I think of being thankful - I interchangeably think of being grateful.  And I am.  Grateful. Thankful.
 
This past year I did a bible study with my Mother titled - Reclaiming Your Joy.  After 10 weeks and much study and thought time, one lesson stuck with me. Being grateful.  Always.  This alone will change your perspective ..... and in turn - change your life.
 
When life turned "chaotic" in the Spring, this stuck with me......and honestly it IS what gets me through (well paired with Family, Friends & wine :-)  It is as simple as this: someone - MANY - have it harder out there than you...than I.  I have no better choice than to be grateful.  This realization on a daily on an hourly changes my perspective. Changes my life.
 
 
THANKFUL.
