The morning air was already thick, promising another hot summer day in Vermont—even though it wasn’t even eight o’clock yet. Blargh. There’s a lot I’m grateful for in my life.
In the day-to-day, it can be easy to overlook all the wonderful stuff. But I’m so lucky. Truly. In life’s stressful moments, I try to remind myself of these things. When I first started doing that, I used it as a grounding technique for managing anxiety. Then I found myself doing it more routinely, sans anxiety. Now, I try to add moments of gratitude to the daily morning pages I write in my notebook.
Like the poem shared in this post, it’s a journey.
onward.
