Why gratitude is important to me

Gratitude, to me, is the ability to see the blessings in your life, name them, and appreciate them. Without comparing your life to others, you can instead compare where you were five years ago to where you are now, and reflect on the progress you’ve made in the life you are creating. It also means appreciating the people you’ve met who have left an impact on your journey.

Being grateful means, to me, the ability to see God in all areas of life and to call upon Him for guidance and help, he doesn't fail me! :)

Morning serenity

Yesterday morning we woke to a light dusting of snow - not a lot but enough that I needed to clear the driveway. It was absolutely magical at 6:30 yesterday morning - breathtakingly still, the sounds of a few neighbours shovelling, the odd plow driver who would have been well into their day - it was privilege to be out there.

Today I’m grateful for:

  • the quiet and peace that accompanies each morning - whether we welcome it or not

  • a meeting with a young engineer set up by a client - it was extremely edifying to hear a young person talk about the impact that my book had on him

  • lunch with a colleague in which we both received ideas from the other that we were not expecting (I know I did for sure !)

What are you grateful for today ?

Have a fantastic weekend !

Below is a summary of the gratitude pulse check from Friday, Jan 30 - up slightly from last month.
