Starting The Week with Gratitude

I have wanted to keep myself on track and not allow myself to wallow in self doubt. What I have been doing is keeping a gratitude journal. I really feel that it is making a difference. I am not only writing things that I am grateful for but I am also keeping a mental tally as the day goes by. This has inpired me to create a weekly post to start the week off right. I have decided that every Monday I will write a post on gratitude and thanksgiving. It will be a short and simple "I am grateful that...." kind of post to one help me share with others what I am grateful about and two help others to remember to be grateful and to express that gratitude.

Remember, expressing gratitude is a sure way to move one from negativity to positivity. I can't remember who the originator of this quote is but Meg Johnson used it and I love it. The quote says, "It is sufficient to say that gratitude from the mind is thank you and gratitude from the heart is I love you." Take the time today to start your week off right by expressing as much gratitude as you can. Tell someone thank you, tell yourself thank you. Tell someone you love them, tell yourself you love you. We definitely do not do that often enough, if at all.

Today I am grateful that I can walk. This is something that I have taken for granted in the past but after having had some pain that made walking difficult I have a new found appreciation for it.

Inspiration for Motivation

Sometimes we are on the road to our dream; soaring and flying down the path with excitement when something comes along and sends us in a tailspin. When it's over we wonder if we have the strength to get back up let alone move forward and pursue the dream. Sometimes it's so devastating that others tell us we are justified in giving up.

Here is an amazing example of not only getting back up but also moving forward and chasing after the dream when the unthinkable happens. Remember, you are the one who decides how far you go. Everyone can tell you no or to quite, you are the one who decides if you listen.
