Cultivated Lives: Gratitude Reflections

It comes easier with practice. I knew it would, but seeing it happen still blows me away. My heart is overflowing with gratitude! Everywhere I turn blessings pop out at me. I take note - writing them in my heart, marking them down in my journal and even recording some here... All the time, thanking the Giver of these many wonderful gifts!
