I’ve been spending a lot of time in gratitude lately - and at the same time I have not. My heart yearns to be grateful for all of the many blessings given to me and yet, I still struggle with contentment. I truly believe contentment is a choice we have to make daily. It will never arrive from having more or better - it comes from appreciating what we already have and calling it enough. With gratitude, we can find contentment, even in suffering or anguish. What we choose to focus on matters; there is true power in positive thinking and speaking life into every situation. Nature reminds me to slow down, take deeper breaths and remember how absolutely privileged I am to live among this beauty and to get to call it home.
