This morning I woke up and couldn’t decide what exercise I should do this morning. I decided to walk along the River with no speed or distance as a goal. I decided the aim of my walk this morning was to be grateful.
I had so many things to be grateful about.
I was grateful for my jacket keeping me warm.
I was grateful for the beautiful view of the river as the sun was coming up.
I was grateful for all the beautiful artwork along the way.
I was grateful for being able to feel the cold air on my nose as I breathed in.
I was grateful for the beautiful coffee I had at the Cafe on the Goodwill Bridge.
I was grateful for all the acknowledgements and hellos I had along the way.
I was grateful for having eyes to see all the beautiful things along the way.
I was grateful for my legs to be able to walk.
After my accident my world got a lot smaller and I had times that I would get incredibly frustrated and jealous about what other people where doing during their day. I practiced being grateful regularly and I realized no matter how small my world was or how frustrated and unwell I felt there was always, always something I could be grateful about.
This morning was a reminder to me when life gets busy it is incredibly important to stop and take time to appreciate what is around me every day.
What can you take time to be grateful for?
Love and blessings to you.
Until next time
