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 all the pets who have blessed my life through the years. I pray that one day all animals will be safe and cared for.

Today on his birthday I am grateful for my husband. We have been together 54 years, through ups and downs. Now in our last years together.💕

I am grateful for the fact that today – I believe I made God smile. It was just a simple act of kindness for a recently widowed friend. I know it meant a lot to her but I think it made me even happier to feel as though I could do something to ease her pain – at least for today.
