I am trying my hand at a new habit. Some days it is very difficult, others it is easy-peasy. I am working on keeping a grateful heart. I am looking, deliberately, for things to be grateful for. Every day. Grateful everyday...whodathunkit? I think its a brilliant plan.
I have accountability too. My three farm chickie friends are joining in. Cara, Miriam and Lexie are seeking out their grateful heart as well. Together we will cultivate an attitude of gratitude. For, a cord of many strands is not easily broken. Sounds cheesy, I know, but I like cheese.
Trying to be grateful without being contrived is hard, hard with a capital H. Purposefully documenting a grateful thought is hard. Some days just being grateful is hard.
Today I struggled with my gratefulness. Today, nothing seemed to be right. I was a huge grump yesterday and I think that grump bled over into my Tuesday. Who needs Mondays anyway? Mondays make my brain hurt. And fall off and roll around in the dirt.
While I wrestle with my grump, my brain and my want of gratefulness I will leave you with a question.
What are you grateful for today?
