"Joy is what happens to us
when we allow ourselves to recognize
how good things really are."
-Marianne Williamson
It's the time of year when families and friends come together.
Holiday parties and hot cocoa combat the bitter coldness of winter,
while the spirit of giving can be seen everywhere.
It's the time of year when we are extra thankful for what we have,
and give to others that are less fortunate.
It seems that gratitude runs in abundance in the month of December.
Why not keep it up?
Another Christmas has come and gone,
setting the stage for the coming year.
As we prepare for 2013, let us be grateful for what we have.
If we can truly find a way to be grateful for all the little things,
and embrace what is given to us,
there are no limits to our happiness.
My number one resolution? Start each day with a grateful heart.
While there will always be needs and wants, I do not want a greedy mind.
Lovingly accepting and being grateful for every moment of every day may
be humanly impossible to do, but being mindful of the power in positivity
and gratitude is a step in the right direction.
Just like the presents under the tree on Christmas morning,
each moment,
each conversation,
each non-assuming interaction with everyone you meet
is a gift.
Be grateful and see how fast things start looking up.
