Gratitude

Sometimes we are so preoccupied with the mundane tasks of life that we overlook the small miracles that happen every day. Instead of focusing on what we do not have, shift your outlook and appreciate the things that bring a smile, a sense of peace and gratitude. Life can be very hectic and frustrating, but take a moment and just appreciate that you are alive, breathing and experiencing life!!! I had a very awakening experience this past weekend, had gone to the cemetery to pay my respect to a family member that has recently passed. Walking past all the tombstones and looking at the names, dates of birth and date of death made me realize that all the struggles, the "drama", the conflicts and the good memories for that matter are temporary. You can not take it with you. Enjoy each moment and be grateful!!!
