Gratitude

Before Vivian’s health challenges, I didn’t give much thought about gratitude.

Now don’t get me wrong, I know I was thankful for many things; however, I also know that I didn’t give it much conscious thought on a daily basis.

I don’t know why it took adversity for me to truly feel appreciation and gratitude.  Perhaps that just human nature. 

I do know this.  I’m grateful every moment of every day for many things now.

Thanksgiving isn't just a holiday, it's a state of mind...something to live each day of the year.
