I'm so thankful for...

...reflection.

I got this idea for a series of posts about gratitude from a friend. She recently had a very negative experience, and was able to turn it around into a reflective opportunity to let more light shine on her blessings. It's been eye-opening to force myself to articulate what I am thankful for. Life has not been easy for me the last few years, and I try very hard to live in those beautiful little moments that arise quickly but seem to be gone before you fully grasp them. I know very well how life change irrevocably in an instant. It has been a very healthy, very calming way to end my day, to think back on everything that happened and choose one moment that I want to share. Sometime it's been silly, but mostly it's been something heart-filling. And even on the silly days, I've been grateful for those deeply personal moments that are too sacred to share with the universe.

So, I guess I'm also thankful for blogs!
