Dear Seeking Soul,

There are a few secrets to happy, content living. Most of them are so simple that they don't seem significant at all, but sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference.

Gratitude is one of those small and simple secrets that has the power to change everything.

Spend some time each day letting gratitude fill your soul. Be thankful for every little thing... your breath, your body (no matter how imperfect you think it is), the place you live, water to drink, food to eat, the people you love, things people make for others to enjoy, trees, flowers, birds, and every good thing you can find.

It won't take long to see that being thankful has the power to turn things around... especially when things seem hard and hopeless and grim. 

It may be just the medicine you need.

You are so very loved.

Happy Thanksgiving

I pause today to think about my blessings, large and small that I have in my life. I have so many things to be grateful for, it is a rather long list.

I want to wake up each day and be fully, boldly, and profoundly grateful to be here.

Tonight, I will ice my foot and rest it for healing. My face has had 8 days to heal, and is improving very well.  My cat and dog are sleeping by my side. The kitchen is cleaned up, and there are many bowls of food for tomorrow. I will sleep well, and under my own roof.

I am happy that this day was good. I let it go, and I am BRAVE.
