Are we just pacifying ourselves when searching for those 3 things each day that we are grateful for? What are we doing and paying attention to if we have to make such a concerted effort to identify gratitude? I spent my twentysomething, thirtysomething, and fortysomething years distracted and focused on the immediate only to awake and find myself a fiftysomething. Do I really want to spend precious time watching my breath?
I think its time to walk because there is somewhere I want to go. To be grateful because gratitude is bubbling up inside my soul. And if gratitude isn’t bubbling up, maybe its time to figure out why.
