When people are in their A-game you here the expression that they were in the zone. In other words they were completely focused on the present moment and all of their energy was on what was happening in that moment.  We can take that same principle and apply it to our everyday lives.  Why not take this day and be in the zone of gratitude?  Whatever is happening, whatever comes along unexpectedly place it in the zone of gratitude.  Being in gratitude shifts my perspective so quickly.  I would not have believed it until I began to practice it.  Sometimes the simplest prayer is “Thank you.”  Whatever happens, whatever crosses our path, “Thank you.”  I am not always willing to see things through this lens, but God, as usual, is there to help out.  I say, “God, I am having this experience.  It is neither what I expected nor what I wanted but it is what is.  Show me how I can be grateful for it.”  My prayer for us today is that we have the courage to abandon our own agenda and step into the zone of gratitude–just for today.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
