The Blessings of Gratitude

Aloha!

Today I was reminded of all the blessings that I have been given. I really took a step back and recognized all of the little things in life. Throughout the day, I would see a person, or a part of nature and say in my head "Thank You for _____" (whatever it was).

I noticed a complete change in my attitude- I felt so happy and confident- content and enlightened.

It's also good to spend time alone.

I got to visit the Laie, Hawaii temple today and sat on a bench near the top just to think (I don't let myself do that often enough). I continued my attitude of gratitude and thought of more things to be grateful for. I stopped thinking about the negative things- in fact they were completely overshadowed by the good.

It's really amazing how rejuvenating and refreshing gratitude and alone time can be. It's a goal of mine to keep it a daily habit!

Give it a try :)

xoxo Allie
