My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
"It's Not Happy People That Are Thankful.
It's Thankful People That Are Happy."
One of the things I greatly value about my life's journey and all its highs and lows, twists and turns and detours, is what that journey so far has taught me.
That gratitude and happiness are interconnected.
Therefore, whenever I get sidetracked by things that are distracting me from noticing all the other things in my life that are good, I know it's time to shift my attention back to those good things.
And strangely enough, I immediately feel a sense of peace and happiness.
Two years ago when I was in the hospital for two weeks because I suddenly took ill; feeling scared and vulnerable, not knowing how things would turn out, I had no other choice but to focus on the positive things in my life. And in doing so, I began to feel stronger. In fact, my entire attitude changed from being a victim to a victor of my reality.
There will be times in my life in which I will have no other choice than to choose gratitude.
Because when I am grateful, I am empowered.
And can't help but feel happy...
