Sunny gratitude…

It sure makes a difference when the sun shines. We have more grey days this time of year in West Michigan than sunny ones. Lake Michigan has its influences on keeping us cloudy. So when the sun shines in the winter it is a time to celebrate seeing it!

The sun making a rare appearance helps me to remember to appreciate it.

I take so much for granted. The absence of something helps me remember to be grateful for it and recognize the value and meaning it has in my life. In this way we do gain from our losses…opportunities to have gratitude for what matters in our lives.

When I feel gratitude I also do connect with feelings of joy. It’s a powerful perspective to be grateful.

For me, even something as simple as seeing the sun is an opportunity for moments of gratitude. It is the simple things in life that bring us joy. It is the little day to day things that mean the most.

So I’ll let the sunshine it and face it with a grin and open up my heart and let the sunshine in!

What simple thing in your life are you grateful for today?
