No matter who you are, where you are, how life is going, there is room for gratitude. I am a very blessed person, but rarely will there be a moment like, "Hey, life is full of good people and memories! I should be pumped and grateful for it all!" It is more like, "Need to finish this report, go do laundry, get this workout in, why isn't there more time in the day?!?!"
Reading this month's book has reminded me that gratitude is essential to being a more peaceful and calm human being. We all can get caught up in the everyday motions without taking that much needed time for that gratitude. The beautiful weather that has graced St. Louis has given me the perfect opportunity to realize the graces/blessings God's put into my life - deeper connection with Him, stable and meaningful job, time to work on this Book Club (shameless plug), and quality vinyl records in my collection.
