Things to be Thankful For

In the daily rush of things we often get caught up in the list of things that are incomplete or haven't happened, or the things that we haven't gotten to yet. How often in our daydreaming do we take a moment to just breathe and take in the little moments of the day and let them nourish our soul?

Not very many of us can honestly say that we give thanks every single day. This is something that should really become as much of a habit as brushing your teeth. Make it a daily thing and you are sure to see a brighter, positive light shining in your life.

We all have habits that we include in our daily routine. Take a moment each morning before you even sit up in the bed and be thankful for all things. Even our struggles are sometimes gifts in disguise. At night if you can't sleep, just think of everything and everybody that you have in your life to be thankful for. I always go to sleep before I finish.

Plants make up so much of our world. When was the last time you truly were thankful for their existence? You may not realize it but without plant life, there would be no life at all. Every living thing has a purpose in the big picture. We fail to think about the things we consume without consideration, from the paper that we write on, to the food we eat, even the furniture we use daily. Everything in our lives exists because of plants, even down to the air we breathe. Gardening is a way to feed not just our bodies, but our souls as well.
 Be thankful for every day that you breathe in the fresh air, drink fresh water and eat fresh food.  Just take a moment to appreciate every plant you see on your way to work or out your back window, as each of them has played a part in another day of your own existence.
