Hello girls:
Unless you have been totally removed from any news, you probably
know by now that our family just gained a new member. Her name is Ruby May
Merkley. Welcome to our clan, precious child!
Mom and baby are doing fine and what a blessing this is. My post
today is to be grateful for what we already have. So often in life we get
sucked about every little thing we still want that we totally forget of just
how blessed we already are and we spoil what we have by desiring what we have
not. When that happens we can often slip into the mode of acting ungrateful and
entitled without even realizing it.
I have found that one of the best ways to avoid slipping into
behavior like that is to find inspiring quotes and post them in places you are
forced to see daily. You can write them on a post it note and stick it on your
mirror or on a car dashboard or any place where you can't help but notice
it. Having these quotes around serves as a great wakeup call to help our
thoughts and our heads stay focused on positive things.
These are the three quotes I posted on my mirror as a reminder
to have an attitude of gratitude.
"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have
not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only
hoped for."
"No. We don't always get what we want. But consider this:
There are people who will never have what you have right now."
"Happiness isn't about getting what you want all the time.
It's about loving what you have and being grateful for it."
I hope you are all enjoying labor day weekend to the very max
and don't forget to live gratefully.
Con amor,
Vero
