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 having grown up with a myriad of aunts, uncles, and cousins on both sides of the family. We had so much fun together! Now the older generation has mostly passed on, and my generation has scattered all over. Still love them all.💕
