Holiday time is in the air. Today I stopped by my favorite farm to pick up apples, cider, and donuts. The fall air was crisp, and the store was decorated with holiday cheer. I felt grateful for my family, simple pleasures in my life, and what I have learned this year.

A Good Life

I am grateful to all the lives that have touched my life. You make a difference. 

To be thankful that unhappiness and gratefulness cannot exist in the same moment.

That counted blessings, make blessings count, and one is a lot.  

To never forget that love gives cheerfully and accepts gratefully. 

That quiet joy and calmness live in gratitude.

To hold in gratitude for what I have before reaching for what I want.

That gratitude makes the best of how things turn out and turns what I have into enough.
