As the new day begins, I remind myself that I have so much to be grateful for just outside my front door.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the day is filled with promise. Even if the skies were gray and rain was on the horizon, there is gratitude to be found in the rain nurturing the Earth.

I believe that finding gratitude for the nature around me, gives me a foundation to find gratitude for other aspects of my life. So I start each day with gratitude for my outer world and bring that gratitude into my personal life, affirming that my life is rich.

Gratitude matters!
