Have Gratitude Now: It's The Little Things

-->
So this is slightly belated, but:

Happy Gratitude Day! What are you thankful for? Personally, I am most thankful for all the love in the Universe and for the ability to learn. I am Thankful for everything that has ever happened to me and everything that ever will. With each life event we have the opportunity to learn, grow and make our lives and the way we love more successful. I feel I have done this and I pray I will have the courage to continue to do so.

I am so thankful for all the people I’ve met on life’s path; for those who have faded away, those who have stuck around and for those who are yet to come: you are the loves of my life and I am extremely lucky to know or to have known you. Even when someone first seemed to be more of a nuisance than a blessing, I can honestly say every person I’ve ever met has taught me something and/or challenged me to find a deeper way to love. Thank you: I love you.

Of course, with that being said, I am most thankful for the people in my inner circle: my friends and family mean the world to me and I feel so blessed to have so many beautiful souls in my life.

I am grateful that I am unique and unwilling to compromise on who I am. I know there have been times in my life that have been more difficult due to my quirky soul, but I also know that being the person I am has helped others become comfortable with being their weird selves. I am thankful for this and very proud to be a goof. If you ever hide who you are, you are cheating the world from seeing your unique light. That's not fair to us. Shine on, babies, shine on.

I am thankful to love so much and so deeply. Though at times this, too, has made my life more challenging, it has also made it more rewarding. I know that whatever I goal I go toward in life, I’ll work to achieve it with the whole of my soul. I am glad that while I’m in this physical body, I’m getting as much out of life as I can!
Similarly, I am thankful to have so much that I’m passionate about. I am grateful to love and be a part of art. I am glad that I dedicated my life to the arts at such a young age and that I've stuck with it through thick and thin.  I am thankful for my instincts, perseverance and belief in the power of a dream.

And, of course, I am thankful for my health, and the fact that I have all the materials I need to survive on a physical level. It is so easy to get down on ourselves for not having what we deem to be the perfect body, a stunning wardrobe, or the most gourmet food and drinks, however, we must focus on what we do have. I would like to thank my legs for carrying me around, my arms for conducting tasks big and small, and my face for the ability to smile through all of life's trials and tribulations. I am thankful that I have clothing, shelter and sustenance. Even small things cannot be taken for granted. Let us not wait until we lose something to appreciate the many blessings in our life. Have. Gratitude. Now.

Finally, I am thankful for you. I appreciate you: whoever and wherever you are. I am truly grateful that you are taking the time to read what's on my mind and track my path road to success. Know that wherever you are, I am sending you love and wishing that you attain the courage to achieve your dreams. I believe in you.

In love and Thanks,

Lo :-)
