Looking Back, Feeling Gratitude, And Moving Forward

“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” Melody Beattie

Every night before going to sleep I think of the day’s happiest moments. My thankful moments. It could be anything from listening to my favorite songs in the car, hugging my son, to opening a Fed Ex package and finding the proof of my new book. I remember the good in every day. Doing this calms me and reminds me to be grateful. I’ve learned that the moments which give me greatest joy are the ones that bring an overwhelming sense of peace–peace knowing that love is within me and all around me.

Just as I look back and feel gratitude at night, today I’m looking back at the past six years of my life and feeling gratitude for my journey thus far.
