"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."
Above is one of my most favorite and cherished quotes of all time. If I tried to put it into my own words, I would fail. It is perfection. Being human has to be the most difficult job in the entire universe. But finding gratitude in each day regardless is spectacular. To have gratitude even in sorrow, trials, hardships and adversity is essential. Gratitude only expressed in times of happiness, success and laughter is obnoxiously selfish.
Challenge yourself each day. Place in writing or say aloud one thing each day that you have gratitude towards. Celebrate Thanksgiving each and every day.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday yesterday. Mine was filled with lots of family and lots of love and I hope each of you experienced the same.
Until next time, kittens...
