Our relationship with our mothers may shift over time, but the love remains the same. Some of you may be caring for your mother now, as she once cared for you. Others like myself have lost our mom, and this day can be difficult. What can you do for such a special woman, guide, and warrior?
I started a practice back then that I continue today; I keep a gratitude journal and every day I write down at least five things that I am grateful for first thing in the morning. It helps set the tone for my day to walk in with grace rather than…oh gosh, today I’ve got to…….”.
Practicing gratitude balances your emotional well being, and you can help others through it.
Here we are at years end, the holidays upon us. I think about the glitter lying about from holiday cards I've opened, and it reminds me of things I've done throughout the year, a little here, a little there.
Try being kind and gentle to yourself even in the toughest times and support that through a practice of gratitude.
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday I invite you to take a few moments and ask your self; what am I thankful for?
