100 Words: Gratitudinal Roadblocks and High Adventure
You are a lucky duck. No matter what is happening, something is gratitude-worthy. If you’re thankful-resistant, what’s causing it? Busy-ness? Fear? Distraction? Anger? It’s okay, it happens to everybody. Just notice it. Sometimes noticing makes all the difference.
Feel grateful, then actively move gratitude from your heart into the world. Rather than quietly giving thanks and tucking it neatly away, let it expand out.

That’s graduate level gratitude, right there. ❤
