“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” -Anne of Green Gables
I am just like everyone else when it comes to Mondays and I caught myself saying to Mason yesterday, “How is it already the end of Sunday? I don’t want the weekend to be over!”
But as today is the 1st day of October, the BEST month in my opinion, I want to start this week and month out with gratitude.
If you woke up this morning and took a big deep breath in on your own, that breath is a gift.
If you were able to move your body out of bed and start walking, that is a gift.
If you were able to afford a cup of coffee to start your day with, that is a gift.
If you have the freedom to read whatever you want this morning, that is a gift.
If your children wake up with renewed energy, ready to play all day, that is a gift.
If you have someone in your home wish you a “Good Morning,” that is a gift.
All of these things happen to me on a regular basis and if I do not stop and think about how truly incredible each of these things are, I will not appreciate them fully.
Please take a few moments this morning to recognize the gifts that are in your life and happening all around you. This life is precious and every day is a gift.
