Giving thanks is a daily ritual of mine. As such, I decided that I would like to blog about something I’m passionate about and in doing so perhaps it may help just one person who is feeling down, to put a smile….if ever so slightly on their face.

These posts are meant to resonate and inspire. I plan on using my own life’s experiences as my cliff to jump off. Occasionally, I shall re-post from inspirational sayings that fit in with my own experiences. Being grateful!

When you wake up to a new day, before you move, before you do a single thing, say Thank You. Say Thank You for the fact that you woke up this morning…you are alive and you’ve been given another day of life. You’ve been given a gift as every day is a gift, and when you really think about it, it’s inconceivable that any of us would wake up in the morning without giving thanks for another day. It doesn’t matter how sleepy you are, or if your alarm has woken you up for work, or you’ve slept in during the weekend. The moment you wake, say Thank You for another day of your life. Sometimes, I may be having a sleepover with my granddaughters, and I still ever so quietly, whisper, Thank You. Thank You that I have the luxury of having them here, lying beside me and for another generation to carry on. What a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love. It is such an easy and simple way to ensure that the day ahead will be filled with magic when you incorporate gratitude in your morning routine. My hope for you is that you will feel the benefits throughout the whole day.

P.S. Post me writing this blog, I received an email from a client/friend of mine the next day. Feel free to copy and paste into your browser. It aligns with this blog almost to a tee. My title was already there and then I received this entitled “A New Day”. Irony or the universe listening.
