I often think of the Sheryl Crow song, “Soak up the Sun” where she says, “It’s not about getting what you want, it’s about wanting what you’ve got.”  Such a simple concept as most are, but simple does not mean easy.  As I embrace each day I make a conscious effort to thank God for the gift of this new day.  On days that I am feeling it, its more like “Yes!  I got another one–thank you God, how can I make this a great one!” So this morning as we spent time on our date, I felt the sense of how can I be grateful today not only for the fact that I have been given the day but grateful for everything in this new day. Yes, everything.  So you can be sure God and I will be continuing our conversation today, because there will invariably be moments when I am not the least bit interested in being grateful for a situation.  But to me that is the beauty of our relationship that I can stop and say “Hey God, remember what you asked of me this morning–I need your help here, I need your eyes and ears because mine are seeing things not so beautifully.”  I hope your day brings you many things to be grateful for and the opportunity to be grateful for something that perhaps yesterday you would have not been.  Make it a beautiful one.  Peace~Colleen
