The importance of GRATITUDE

"Consistently expressing Sincere and heartfelt gratitude for what you already have is the underlying and often overlooked force which opens doors to immeasurable abundance and happiness."

I learned that this was the truth when I started reflecting on my life over eight years ago through daily journal writing and it just got better when I started blogging. From there on I was able to thank people through emails, in person, through texts, through present giving, etc. I've become a much happier person.

I am so grateful and thankful for every single thing, person and experience I am having right now. I'm getting so much from my co-workers, friends, husband and people I meet in the journey. They make me laugh, they challenge my thoughts, and they help me become a better person.

I am so thankful for all the things I have, an apartment, clothes, and a job which I love going to everyday. Its an added bonus that I get paid, because I would do it for free! I don't have much in terms of furniture, clothes, no car, I don't own a house, but I am exactly where I need to be with everything I need in life. 

I appreciate every experience I have. Wether its a short subway ride to work, my bootcamp class in the mornings, dinner with a childhood friend, a long European vacation, big or small, I cherish every single experience. I love when I can share them with people and when other people open up their lives so that I can share in their special moments.

I wanted to put my love and appreciation out there in the world, maybe it will become contagious!
