A saying I have heard and or read a few times from various sources has really stuck with me over the last year or so, it goes like this:
Gratitude makes what you have enough …..
The last year has brought me into a more minimalist lifestyle with fewer physical possessions than I have had in at least 20 years, maybe even my entire life. A mostly intentional effort still left me in moments of frustration or longing for conveniences of old, and this quote came in handy as I went about acclimating to a new way of life and a new perspective. The cultivation of gratitude really is a practice and it really does change ones character and increase the light within. While I have always been a fairly grateful person, there is always more, the more for me has me practicing differently than I ever had in life and hoping for even more than I have today. So this Thanksgiving my heart is very full!
Mostly for the courageous hearts on this journey with me, my husband and six kids. And for how it has changed me, and them. While the list of things I do in fact feel grateful for is long, this really sums it up nicely when I think about it.
That being said, the one and only other thing I wish to share gratitude for on this platform is you. Yes you. If you are reading this, you matter to me and I am grateful for you. For UBB readers, for those sharing their love stories, for the creative geniuses who make the celebration of those said love stories beautiful. For your willingness to also be courageous and bold in your life choices, in your willingness to love, and in how you create.
HAPPY THANKSGVING – Audrey
