Feeling Gratitude

I try to lay in bed for a few minutes every morning when I first wake up and think about what I am grateful for. I started this a while back. I don't do it every morning, but when I think of it. Some mornings I forget or am stressed and didn't sleep well and then I just struggle to wake up.

But like this morning, it was bliss to lay there for about 30 minutes, dozing in and out and expressing gratitude. I  think it is important to feel gratitude for the good things in our life. It is too easy to feel jaded, mad, hurt, resentful, and think the world is a bad place, and we have no luck. I like to feel grateful that I am healthy, am smart, have a job and a house, good friends and family. That is the basis of a good life, I think.
