Every day for the month of November I will post something for which I am grateful. I invite you to join me in this exercise privately or by leaving a comment to share with others. Please share this blog with others and invite them to share this month long practice.
When we live from a place of gratitude within, our energy and being shift, neurobiologists believe it actually rewires the brain. Gratitude regulates the sympathetic nervous system that activates our anxiety response. By living from a place of gratitude we strengthen the mind/body connection. Gratitude causes a physiological response that can help relieve stress and pain, improve health over time and lighten depression.
In short, practicing gratitude can make us kinder more peaceful people.

Today I am grateful for this beautiful fall day, full of sunshine, crisp air, and bright colors. A wonderful day to take a walk on new knees, which I did.

My family. Even when we don’t get along or agree, I don’t know what I’d do without them in my life. I love them all. My most precious granddaughter who I love more than anything

I am thankful for certain objects in my home that remind me of special moments in my life, special people who made or gave them that represent love.
We can never have or give enough love. It’s not the objects, it’s what they represent ❤️💜.
