Practicing Being Grateful

I'm somehow feeling very content lately. Don't get me wrong - there are things I'd like to have in this life - mostly experiences I want to have - oh and a healthy, happy family of my own some day.....but one thing many of my own teachers and people I admire have all told me - a good, universal piece of advice....is that you must always remember to be grateful for what you do have - not to get too caught up in the yearning for "greater" things.

In other words, to "be" exactly where you are right now --

One way of doing this - is to simply list all those things you are grateful for, no matter how "big" or how "small." You can write it down, or just say it out loud.

You might notice that after you do this - you actually feel better, lighter. A good place to be!

Making my list right now --- :)
