Gratitude

Focusing on gratitude is one way to tap into the present moment and experience joy. You become happy for what you already have, and do not attach happiness to what you may have or accomplish in the future. Don’t postpone your happiness!

We give thanks, in return for the things we cherish in life….for what we have received that is a blessing.

Think of one person, event, or thing - big or small, that enriches your life. How do you feel when you consider that thing? Can you sit with that feeling and let it last?

Winter is a great time for inner work on yourself.
