I am feeling that life is running away some days, well – all days. I feel like things are not going to slow down until …. well, honestly maybe never. So I think I need to slow. Be still.
Today is June 1st and I am going to start all over. I am going to count again, count my thanks. I have done this before, and it changes the minutes of every day. Taking notice of everything. And I want to experience that again, that offering of thanks – that pace of gratitude. So for the next 3 months I am going to count every day. I’ll dig out my journal, or start a new one. And I am going to live a life of Thanks. I hope it spills into everything else, all sloppy like – in my days and my minutes. I hope it makes me slow just a bit, to see all the great and wonderful things around me all the time.
