Do you ever stop?

And think about how lucky you are?

Gratitude…

Some say you need to be grateful for everything and write it down in a journal.

Others says it’s BS and that you wouldn’t ever be grateful if you had the things you wanted.

I disagree.

Stop! Right now

And think about how lucky you are.

Can you see?

Can you hear?

Then you’re already lucky.

You can see the blue sky and the pink sundowns.

You can hear the most beautiful music in the world and the waves crashing against the shore.

This is not to be taken for granted.

So many people can’t.

I know a blind woman.

She can smell what kind of tree a fence is made of and how far away it is.

I get that if one sense doesn’t exist then others get bigger.

But I’m still grateful for the ones I have.

I think it’s worth celebrating what we have and not just whine about what we don’t.

Vision, hearing, money…

Everything.
