100 Days of Gratitude

I believe that showing gratitude of everyday experiences can revitalize my commitment to living life in a sensational way.  I believe in God, a higher being, our creator with a master plan. My mother, my sister and I pray, !are spiritual and we are also strong believers of "The Secret". We have all been convinced, by witnessing it firsthand, that we've been graced with goodness--- by "putting it out there in the universe."  I'm always thankful for what I have, but I wanted to share my joy with others by doing a 100 Days of Gratitude Photo-Journal. Every day, I consciously spent a few minutes to count all of life's little blessings. This year, I received my license as a registered nurse, got hired in on a medical surgical-floor and just today- at the operating room department!  Last month, my adorable little nephew was born, I bought a car that I was imagining to be mine, and my husband and I just bought a house!  Our kids are happy.  We are all healthy.  Surrounding me is my very close family (who literally live nearby) and I have amazing friends who are always by our side.  There's no doubt - I'm grateful for the life I am living.
 
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is "Thank You," it'll be enough. - Meister Eckhart
