"Find 3 things you're grateful for."

What are you grateful for? There is a whole world out there full of things and people to be grateful for. I am grateful for my husband, my friendships, my residents, my pets, my health. These are the typical things people are grateful for. What about the things we take for granted, I mean how many of us take the time to grateful for a butterfly, a sunset, a smile from a stranger, or a tree blowing in wind. Do we, as humans take the time to be grateful for the little things? I mean do You? I can't believe all the beautiful things in the world, 20 years ago all I saw was ugliness and pain. But to actually see the world and all its wonder for the first time is amazing. I still have to be aware of what is going on in my head, and stop myself, otherwise the next thing I know I will be whining in my head about the things I can't control. But when I catch myself, things appear clearer, colors brighter and I am so grateful for this world. This week I want you to pay attention to your surroundings and I know some of you do, but try to just be aware when you're in traffic, or on your break at work. What are you grateful for? Find 3 new things every day to be grateful for and see what happens. I probably used this quote before, but I love it so it is worth repeating. "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change." I am trying to do that with exercise, yeah, well I will let you know how that one turns out. Now Lauren get out of your head! This is a hard one, I must say. Can she do it? Will Lauren learn to love exercise and live a healthier life? Lets see shall we.
