Gratitude

Gratitude has been a buzz word for several years now, and with good reason.

Starting your day with gratitude is especially powerful as it sets the tone for your day. Frequent reminders throughout the day don’t hurt either!

I work for a local roofing company here in Southwest FL where there were 800,000 insurance claims after Hurricane Ian, and it’s become common practice for us to swap hurricane stories with our customers. I’ve receied a few really helpful tips from some of them on how to navigate the insurance process, but I also love encouraging people to stay the course and fight the fight.

Often times I’ll hear “I’m so sorry that your house is in the state that it is and I will pray that it gets repaired quickly for you.” Some peple want to give me things, or they ask if there is any way that they can help, which I politely but graciously decline.

What I ALWAYS say in return is “Honestly, while my situation is challenging and frustrating, I am grateful to have a roof over my head, electricity, running water, and a place to sleep at night (mostly) free of outdoor critters.” I believe this sentence with my whole heart. I know there are people in worse situations than ours. I am honestly grateful. BONUS to this mantra…is that it solidifies my ability to manifest positive future outcomes.

You see, when you find the good and the happines in your current situation, you will only draw more of the same into your life. Some people call this manfiestation or law of attraction. I call it good sense!

Regardless of my feelings on any given day about our situation, or my irritation when its 92 degrees inside, or the Noseeums are chewing on my ankles, I go to bed grateful, wake up grateful, go through my day grateful, and await all of the good that continues to flow to us, even in small doses.

Keep showing up for yourself, continue to be resilient, continue to revel in the good and the positive ,no matter how small it is.

Lots of Love,
