Day 30 – I am grateful for…
Nov 30th
Today I am grateful that I have managed to keep my commitment to post daily. I took this challenge at the beginning of the month. It’s amazing how one simple action can change so much in a person’s life.
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.” – Meister Eckhart
One of the things that has had the biggest effect on my life is the realization of the power of gratitude. Simply giving thanks.
It has affected everything in my life. It has made me a more positive person. More productive. And overall a happier person. I’m not perfect, but gratitude has made me better.
Although this challenge is over. I haven’t decided if I will continue to write down (perhaps in a journal) what I am grateful for each day. But I will certainly take a few moments each day to reflect and give thanks.
Now I ask you what are you grateful for today? How had gratitude changed your life? What plans have you made to continue giving thanks?

Here are just a few of my favorite photos from my travels. I didn’t even put any of my Costa Rica photos because that would probably take several pages.
I hope you enjoyed them.

Day 27 – I am grateful for…
Nov 27th
Today I am grateful for my cat Jasmine.
She has been my furry companion for the past 14 years when my friend Kirstin brought her (and Aladdin who unfortunately died a couple of years ago) to me from Egypt. I named her Jasmine after the movie “Aladdin and Jasmine” because she was a princess and she came from a distant land. She loves me unconditionally and even more when I give her treats.
