Boost your Attitude with Gratitude

Today I'm sitting in my favorite place, the bookstore!  

I remember in the early 2000's my girls and I would take Saturday excursions to Books-a-Million. They loved just sitting amongst the books in the children section, then making well thought out decisions of what new book would be their intellectual playhouse for the weekend. It was a place we could learn together and above all, it was FREE admission!!

Books have always been my little getaway. During my quiet days as a pre-teen and teenager, I would read.  I would go in my room and just read.  I could so vividly transform the words from the pages into little movie scenes in my head.  

Even as an adult I continued to read and when I had nowhere to turn during dark times, books then became my escape.  I needed solace and I found it in books. 

With 2017 readily approaching, I was spiritually nudged to come back to this happy place.  I've been busy living and moving so now it's time to sit.  

Sitting here in a comfy lounge chair, I reminisce on my life journey... then a tremendous feeling of gratitude surfaces. 

I ponder on my life and all the wonderful places and people I've encountered along my journey.  Some are no longer physically present in my life anymore, but nevertheless, I can still feel their presence and appreciate their impact. 

Gratitude will boost your attitude! When we come from a place of gratitude, we're expanding our positive force field and creating more abundance.  

Write down all the things you're grateful for - big or small.  It could be your house or the fact you have two working legs. 


😊 I'm grateful for:

πŸ’žMy mother

πŸ’žMy amazing three daughters

πŸ’žMy positive friendships

πŸ’žMy hilariously funny two brothers

πŸ’žMy life lessons

πŸ’žMy ability to provide a comfortable home for my children

πŸ’žMy health

πŸ’žMy sanity

πŸ’žMy talents

πŸ’žThe opportunity of creating my own destiny




I may not have everything at any particular moment, but I'm grateful for my life and the opportunity to correct my wrongs and try again. 

I'm grateful my intuition brought me to this bookstore. It opened my force field of creativity and replenished my depleted creativity word bank. 

Be grateful, appreciate the magic in the little things, and then watch how your positive force field attracts more of that funky good stuff into your life.
